Fighting Racism and Sexism Through Art

Artist Kis Keya challenges people’s biases

“I don't think it's useful for me to fight blatant sexism or racism - people who are in that mindset…I don't know if there is much I can do about that…My approach is to touch that place within people, where you would think there is no racism, nor sexism left. That last layer where discrimination and bias persist. You know? Those people who think they are free from bias, but in reality still have bad reflexes and attitudes. Those who still believe in cliches and stereotypes.

These are the people that I aim to reach through my art."

Kis Keya is a painter, filmmaker and performance artist based in Brussels, Belgium.
