SESSION 4: gesture

MODEL 4: Zahir (They/Them) is a lifelong martial artist and someone who has found their creativity in the sport of olympic freestyle wrestling. Much of their embodied practice hails from Tae Kwon Do, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kick-Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts and Freestyle Wrestling. They enjoy bringing elements of these movement practices to their poses, and you might see some of that flair in their work. They have been a life model for over 2 years now, but most enjoy the life modelling they can do that brings together their creative and movement passions.

Erin Veronica Ender (she/her) www.heandeve.com

Designed and built in 2015 by Henrik Ender and Erin Veronica Ender (he&eve) BIGBANG x SHEBANG! studio was architecturally engineered for social and cultural change. Erin grew a love for the power of inspiring students while tutoring and designing content for students in Architecture, Interior and Spatial Design for RMIT, Swinburne and Monash Uni for 2 decades and counting. Erin's artistic practice is centered around the production of ephemeral environments (eg. happenings/ exhibitions) showcasing the audience's everyday theatre (eg. behaviours/ costume) contributing to our collective cultural identity here in so-called Australia.
