The screen behind her shows scenes of massive glaciers melting. The projection continues this way throughout the performance, showing clips of climate change devastations and natural disasters. Wildfire, houses in flames, tornadoes, tsunamis, unabashedly displayed as Cuthand unwraps one Werther\u2019s Original caramel after another, puts it in her mouth for a few seconds, then takes it out and sticks it onto her naked body. All the while, these two contrasting visuals are accompanied with an audio recording of Cuthand\u2019s love letters read aloud.<\/p>\n<p>The different jarring sensations evoked by the visual and audio happenings interact at times, awkwardly at times, but somehow they seem to make the personal and relatable content digestible. As the viewers are presented with muted scenes of apocalypse, Cuthand\u2019s caramel-eating and candy-placing onto her flesh is tender, comforting, like looking at the personification of innocence. In addition to the visual stimulation is the reading of Cuthand\u2019s love letters, which are minimal in punctuation and breaks; Cuthand spilling her heart out to various crushes while naming her self-awareness of it. In these letters, Cuthand expresses her ideas of love, sprouts of romance; how it burns into her mind when her hand brushes her crush\u2019s, her desires\u2014sexual, parental, simple\u2014and the improbable future, what with climate change and being queer and all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese days, it feels like I\u2019m an outlier to want to parent.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWho knows what is impossible anymore?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI can\u2019t believe I feel like time is running out because I want babies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The love letters finish, houses continue to burn on screen, \u201cHeat Wave\u201d by Linda Ronstadt comes on with a periodic \u201cclang\u201d\u2014the sound of Cuthand taking the caramels off her body one by one and dropping them into a titanium bowl\u2014giving the whole scene an odd rhythm yet completing the piece. <em>The Future Is So Bright<\/em> wraps in a way that mirrors the contradiction many people feel on a daily basis, living when and where we do: the world is burning but we can\u2019t stop talking about the future, dreaming about what we will do with the ones we love, what we will create; we cannot help but be hopeful and pragmatic at the same time; always realizing what really matters a little too late. Yet, somehow, we muster the courage to say, \u201cSWEET!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Review written by Katherine Chan<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_796\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-796\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/10\/Thirza-Jean-Cuthand-5_sm-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Thirza Jean Cuthand performance at LIVE 2019, VIVO Media Arts.

They read an excerpt from a book titled Selling Sex. They divulge their experience working at strip clubs, revealing to the audience the dark truth that dancers are forced to accept drinks offered by their clients because that\u2019s how the club makes money, even when Davis was underage.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the performance is a dual-display of the artist\u2019s internal and external: the screen shows a video of the artist telling their story, typing in the iPhone\u2019s Notes app,; on stage, Davis slowly takes off their clothes with a neutral (or numbed?) expression on their face, occasionally fake smiling, as if we are customers at a strip club that they have to please. It is on the screen that viewers learn about Davis\u2019s past, tenderness towards their mother, their fears; what it\u2019s like to dress like a man when leaving the club with the hope this will protect them from harassment, running to the bus station as soon as the bus arrives; what it feels like to be scared of a police officer showing interest in you because you could be murdered and missing forever, because you are an Indigenous woman and some people are sick perverts. As Davis sensually, reluctantly strikes into different seductive poses on stage, the audience learn from the on-screen typing: Davis\u2019s most cherished childhood memories going to pow wows with their mother and sibling; how they eventually stop going to pow wows; how they miss dancing without fear; and that Davis\u2019s father used to say to them: \u201cyour [long] hair is what makes your beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raven Davis\u2019s performance is generous because they take off their invisible mask to tell the audience their life story. It has been traumatizing and is deserving empathy yet is unrelatable, unless you are an Indigenous person living in these lands that have been stolen from your people, an Indigenous woman who is the subject of predation, part of a community that has been ignored and discarded for so long. Davis\u2019s fluid transformation, their outpouring of intimate memories, fears and disappointments, together transport the audience to moments of reflection of the imbalanced culture and indelible history of the land which we occupy and call home. <\/p>\n<p><em>Review written by Katherine Chan<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Photos and video to come upon artist&#8217;s permission.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>New Body Language panel with SUM gallery<\/h3>\n<p>Following Davis&#8217; and Cuthand&#8217;s performances, a panel of queer, trans, 2 Spirit, and Muxe-identifying artists discussed issues of gender identity and politics in performance art with the SUM Galley community.<\/p>\n<p>The panelists: Thirza  Jean Cuthand, Raven Davis, Adriana Disman, Lukas Avenda\u00f1o.<br \/>\nModerated by Shane Sable<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, SUM Gallery, for making this wonderful discussion happen.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As corruption reigns supreme and the world burns, artists everywhere are bravely rising up&#8230; Tonight! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/livebiennale?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@livebiennale<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VIVOMediaArts?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@VIVOMediaArts<\/a> presents performance art by two QAF alum <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/leZbusrider?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@leZbusrider<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ro3hHrKofg\">https:\/\/t.co\/ro3hHrKofg<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ravendavisart?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ravendavisart<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P9yBEdTBVG\">https:\/\/t.co\/P9yBEdTBVG<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TwoSpirit?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TwoSpirit<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Indigiqueer?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Indigiqueer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Queer Arts Festival | SUM gallery (@QAFVancouver) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/QAFVancouver\/status\/1180195417784373248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 4, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_800\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-800\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/10\/Q_A-4_sm-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Artist panel presented by SUM Gallery, LIVE 2019.
