Kahelelani aka HEAVY PLEASURE (Kanaka Maoli, DJ, interdisciplinary artist) originates from the ahupuaʻa o Kailua, in the moku o Koʻolaupoko, on the island of O’ahu. Utilizing sound as a tool to grapple with themes like gender and sexuality, embodiment, and belonging, Kahelelani creates containers to experience joy, connection, and reflection as potential sites for decolonial world-building.
Ciko Sidzumo is a second year student at the Center for Human Rights and the Arts at Bard. She joins the program from Johannesburg, South Africa. Ciko’s research interests include period poverty, gender-based violence, and movements that work toward the eradication of both.
