  Class\n1st Feb – 8pm – Beija Flo presents ‘Nudes’ (at The Stockro
 om)\n\n“This very personal collection of music and art is about how I sa
 w and captured my body\, and how it was touched\, over a specific period o
 f time. A period of time in which I had a series of blemishing break-ups a
 nd sexual partners\, during a very hard year in my life. Whilst struggling
  with my weight and mental health\, I lost a lot of people and pushed the 
 rest away. I still can’t explain why I did this. In a mad panic of distr
 ust and anxiety\, I could not bear to be touched or even continue to exist
  – at least\, not in the world I was in. In a desperate longing for some
 one to see me as I was\, to start again\, I gave trust to the wrong people
  and received scars in return.\n\nI also gave trust to the right people an
 d got my body back.”\n\nBeija Flo on ‘Nudes’ and her exhibition ‘I
 nside The Walls’\n\nBeija Flo’s current single ‘Nudes’ provides th
 e focus point for the exhibition. Accompanied by poetry along with video\,
  self-portrait photography and illustrations\, ‘Nudes’ allows Beija Fl
 o to showcase her artistry in different ways. This new single and exhibiti
 on strips back the stage paint and leotards\, allowing Beija Flo to explor
 e the relationship she has with her body. Despite how we feel about oursel
 ves\, ‘Nudes’ serves as a reminder that when everyone leaves\, our bod
 y is still there\, even if we feel let down by it\, it is still our consta
 nt companion.\n\nA true polymath\, Beija Flo\, has crafted her own univers
 e\, pulling together elements of activism\, performance art and education.
  She tackles everything from love and relationships through to mental and 
 sexual health\, she is truly an artist for our times\, juxtaposing her dar
 kest moments against those of enduring hope.\n\nTelling her story through 
 her art\, she lets us into her world and teaches us not to be fearless\, b
 ut to wear our insecurities as warpaint: to accept our differences\, embra
 ce our similarities and to live our lives as true and as vibrant as possib
 le. To witness Beija Flo live is an unforgettable experience. Songs\, perf
 ormance and costumes aside she provokes a conversation that many would shy
  away from. Having discovered she was born with MRKH Syndrome when she was
  in her late teens\, and as a young woman\, coming to terms with the fact 
 that there was little in the way of support or even relevant information t
 o help her come to terms with how the condition would affect her: Beija Fl
 o’s reality is weaved through music and the narrative she shares with an
  ever growing audience.\n\nRead more in Beija Flo’s cover feature of the
  current issue of Bido Lito!
