An Artist in Motion: Weaving Indigenous Roots and Urban Realities Through Song and Story
In a world of fluid identities,Texas moves like a chameleon with many wigs, rethreading her indigenous roots with a wild appreciation for the complex realities of city life. Deeply original and funny, her writings and songs charm her audiences while also catalysing intimate response. She knows the edges and interfaces of South African diversity, yet her work speaks of the human struggle beyond clear cut divisions. Whether a local performance piece for “Artclub and friends” or an installation for the Amsterdam collective “Salon Salon”, her pieces expose and interrogate with the rare care and tender reflection of an artist who knows how to find a creative voice for suffering.
