SHU
Curaçao, b. 1997
My name is Shu. I am a Curaçaoan interdisciplinary artist, focusing on the theme of vulnerability within Black men and its connection to #BlackBoyJoy. Using ideals of Afro-Surrealism and Afro-Futurism to imagine possible worlds in which my creations can exist. My work consists of different media such as performance, visual arts, and design. Furthermore, I’m actively working on building a production house called Urban Owl Productions with like-minded artists to design, create and sell products & services using conceptual storytelling. To me art is a language communicating the inner essence of its creator. For this reason, I focus on creating with the intention to express. Expressing myself through my art with the hope of inspiring the audience to be more open to their own expressions.
