Lianca van der Merwe (aka Lala3xl) critically reflects on the dimensions of reality and experience.

She foregoes an intellectual life in favour of lived experience and firmly believes that the answer to the issues facing humanity today - like discrimination or sustainability - lies not in strategic solutions but in embodied ones. Lianca uses rhyme as a subversive medium to break down the artificial barriers that distinguish between what is ‘us’ vs. what is ‘them’. She graduated from ArtEZ University of the Arts and holds an MA in Critical Fashion Practices. She works as a performer, multimedia artist and educator,  hosting workshops on how to build individual autonomy and subvert the hegemonic narratives of the modern world.
