In "RItual reALITies," the artist engaged in a part-performance and part-discussion that explores identities as rituals that are produced collaboratively if not always conscientiously between individuals and societies. Detangling the notions of ritual, free will, and collaboration at the core of anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ violence on the world stage, Fiatsi asks: what collaborative rituals are used to make certain identities "real" and others "unreal"? and "Can the idea of "Reality" itself be seen as part of political rituals and ritual identity claims?
