@The Street, Central Saint Martins, London
Inspired by the poem Prostitute Baby by Ishimwa Muhimanyi, Sha adapted the poetry work into a 20mins slow-speed performance. By using a color-dyed, stuffed and aged dress, a wooden spoon, a yellow kitchen glove, a red heart shaped candle and some unravelling thread, the performance was provocative, visually arresting.
Prostitute Baby as part of the Central Saint Martins work in progress show in Jan 2017 has been performed both on the private night and the public viewing day.
