In the installation re(cul)naissance, Eshrāghi brings forth Fe’e, the octopus god of war of Sāmoan mythology. Here, Fe’e takes the form of a textile installation composed of wide bands of iridescent fabric upon which ancestral and contemporary motifs have been printed. Evoking the god’s tentacles, the bands hang down from the ceiling above a golden waterlily and a blue-neon ring glowing like a halo toward the sky. On the wall, words in French and Sāmoan are written out in neon letters. A video showing four people touching and caressing each other, performing gestures imbued with gentleness and tenderness, completes the installation. re(cul)naissance is articulated around a ceremony in which humans, animals, and nature come together to celebrate Indigenous kinships, along with the multiple genders, sexualities, and pleasures that they bear. By restoring respectful relationships with water, earth, light, bodies, and all living and non-living beings (real or imaginary) that inhabit the world, Eshrāghi honours practices, identities, and knowledge oppressed by colonialism and its extractivist vision. In this work, playing on the idea of rebirth, ia proposes new, sensitive avenues for addressing the future of fa’afafine, fa’atama, queer, trans, nonbinary, and other people, whose key roles in the intellectual and cultural life of a multiplicity of Indigenous kinship systems have been violently crushed.
