Sweatmother is an artist and filmmaker. His moving image work blends performance, self-recorded documentation, internet and archival footage in order to explore and make visible queer lived experiences. Experimental techniques are often incorporated throughout his work such as the triple baked method, an original image making technique using a video synthesizer.

 

Sweatmother seeks to create art for his community to share, learn from and find solace in sensitive depictions of their shared raw realities and obscured histories. He continues to develop his visual art practice alongside his collaborations and lived experiences, proposing new ways the world can interact with otherness. 

 

Sweat experiments with “interventions against forgetting” within his archival project  Otherness Archive, an accessible online-based archive.
