— SEASON I FEATURED ARTISTS —
SESSION V: July 5, 2018
Sounds - DJ Ella Ella
DJ Ella Ella is an emerging mixed genre DJ in Austin, Texas.
Visuals - Cindy Popp
"As Cindy Popp, I use found objects, clothing and makeup to transform myself into anyone I want and my empty home into an audience. Finding examples of women—particularly women of color—using makeup and fashion to take control of their own image in a way that isn’t meant to be attractive to men can be very hard to find and I want to fill that void. I’m interested in an exaggerated version of femininity, with notes of pop culture and drag. My influences are fashion editorials, makeup artists on Instagram, B movies, clowns, and comedy. I always want my photos to be imperfect, indulgent, and a little gross." Cindy Popp will also exhibit work through #bbatx's Meet Her Hands series on August 9.
