Artist-in-Residence Max Lyonga: Colors of Hope
21 February 2019“Perhaps there is a difference my art in that I talk more about the crisis in Cameroon and try to spread the word. I create more art now and work harder on the themes of truth and dialogue, building together, forgiving, and freedom. But maybe that description is just the way others have seen what I have done. I am still remaining the Max that people know, true to this world, true to his colors.”

Merging the Public with the Personal: 2Fik’s Carleton Residency
1 December 2018Beginning his talk, Dating Apps: The Art of Self-Curating and Performance, 2Fik changed the slide to a map of the world, with three points marking Paris, Morocco, and Quebec. The writing on the slide drew laughs from the audience, as it had at 2Fik’s talk the week before at the Northfield Public Library; the description accompanying each point (“Where I live now,” for Quebec) was qualified with a reflection of how others interpret 2Fik (“Where people know I’m not from”). While 2Fik presented it in a light-hearted way, grinning as he pointed to each dot in turn, the map reflected the inherently personal yet universal themes that have tied 2Fik’s three-week residency together—the concepts of the multiplicity of identity; identities that span geographic, cultural, and gendered borders; and the tensions between internal identities and external images.
