Brown Madonna is a work that queers and reclaims two iconic feminine archetypes—Mama Mary and Madonna—as a response to the commodification of the body under capitalist, heteropatriarchal systems. Blending dance, theatre, and ritual, the piece confronts self-spectacularization while celebrating embodied liberation. Through a postcolonial, queer-feminist lens, Brown Madonna reimagines the divine feminine as both sacred and subversive.
