Shilo Shiv Suleman and Mallence Bart-Williams on Embodied Decolonisation, Sensuality and Cultural Reclamation - E184

How do we decolonise and reclaim the sensuous powers of our divine feminine?

In this episode entitled Lineage Of Abundance, Amisha talks to Mallence Bart-Williams, a Sierra Leonean-German multi-facetted social entrepreneur who uses film, fashion, botanical alchemy, writing and philanthropy as forms of expression to instill balance in this world, and Shilo Shiv Suleman, an award-winning Indian artist whose work lives and breathes at the intersection of Magical Realism, Art, Technology and Social Justice. Her work is unapologetically embodied weaving together the sensual and sacred, past and future- through paintings, wearable sculptures, interactive installations and public art interventions. 

Mallence and Shilo reveal the facets of their newly launched collaborative space ‘Lineage’ that draws on their personal cultures and lineages. ‘Lineage’ is a diverse cultural space in Ubud, Bali, containing a library, art gallery, chai and wine bar. The intention of ‘Lineage’ is to be an offering for us to reimagine our futures and to bring alive practices of embodied decolonisation that reclaim ancient trade routes and our imagination, so we may reconnect with our sensuous bodies and a culture of abundance.

They explore

:: insights and stories revealing their personal cultural lineages and ancestral practices :: cultural appropriation and capitalisation of ancestral practices, such as yoga :: cultural regeneration and to how to reclaim our sensuous power of the divine feminine :: culture of shame & colonial laws of oppression that continue to reap hate and division in our communities  :: joy as a form of resistance & reclamation
