Rowan Moonlion (NL, 1997; they/them) is a non-binary artist, Jewish witch and writer who creates interdisciplinary art projects aiming to turn utopian and political fantasies into reality. Their work explores identity politics, belonging, and community building through a queer and spiritual lens. By sculpting fantastical worlds using photography, performance, video, installation, and crafted objects and creatures, Moonlion hopes to offer a moment of slowness and belonging – providing an antithesis to the capitalist rush.
Their project Vessels of Home seeks moments of belonging through the creation of rituals, artifacts, and myths that weave together past, present, and future. By sharing their imaginations with the audience, they urge people to relate to their humanness together, to start to experience interbeing. The quilt represents the slow building of stories, culminating in a web of ancestral history. In their work, Moonlion is looking for an understanding of horizontal transcendence. How can we sustain a world where humans stand equal to blades of grass, and where identity and institution no longer hold all power?
