Colonized Imagination
Research Colaborator
Colonized Imagination is a devised theatre work Directed and performed by Steph Reyes for the Third Mask Festival.
From January to April 2021, we collaborated and explored the layers surrounding decolonizing a creative's imagination. A deconstruction of the eternal and inadvertent effect on the everyday. An investigation of the nuanced relationship between the colonizer and the colonized.
