FKA Twigs, from "We Are the Womxn"

ONLINE FIND

■ Pole dancing, anyone? FKA Twigs today premiered the short film “We Are The Womxn,” directed by Ivar Wigan made in conjunction with WePresent, the editorial playform of WeTransfer. Filmed during the 2019 Afropunk Festival, FKA Twigs and spiritual leader Queen Afua hosted a moon dance in celebration of the sacred womxn, and afterward they adjourned by the Blue Flame, Atlanta’s first Black strip club. They talked about the night and women dancing for each other in this interview. Says FKA Twigs: “I decided to hold the second part of the all-female and femme-sacred moon dance at Blue Flame, firstly to honor the heritage of pole dancing, but also to create a matriarchal dominance in a space that’s usually filled with, and run by, male energy.” FKA Twigs, of course, learned pole dancing for the 2019 video for “Cellophane.”
