Nick Cave (US, 1959)
Cave’s training in dance choreography and textile art inspired him to create Soundsuits, named after the noises they emitt when in motion.
Cave created the first Soundsuit in response to the brutal beating of Rodney King by police officers in Los Angeles in 1991. Soundsuits protect their human content obstructing bias on the basis of race, gender, and class.

In Yemen the indigo process was mastered by Jewish artisans who had ties to the Jewish community in Uzbekistan, likely united through the trade routes of the Silk Road and Mecca, which not only served as a religious center but also an economic one. In Uzbekistan and Yemen, master-weavers would take the fibers to Jewish Master dyers for Indigo. These communities, though fragmented through religion, collaborated on the same cloth. These interwoven relationships transcended beyond the textile, and echoed across different communities in Asia and North Africa. Despite seemingly disparate backgrounds, cultures and terrain, we are all in fact connected through historical production of textile and symbolic meaning.

“Conflict is More Profitable Than Peace is a photographed binder translated into time-based media documenting the ongoing war in Yemen…
In order to sustain itself, my adopted country, the United States of America, depends on the destruction of my native country, Yemen, and others like it. The closest term to describe this feeling must be a relative to cannibalism…”
