On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to multimedia artist and popstar Roibí O'Rua in 2023.

Roibí is a multimedia artist utilising music, video, animation, and digital media to explore ideas of queerness as it exists within Generation Z.

Roibí occupies the space between popstar and fine artist, while referring to their own experiences as a 'Transfemme'.

The work explores ideas of identity through the idea of the self as a digital persona.

Roibi considers digital space as a means of socialisation and the development and expansion of subcultures.

Her latest body of work;

'DIGITRYN: REVo/eLu/aTION' was completed as part or

'Full Stack Feminism in

Digital Humanities' Artist Residency (Jan 23-Jep 23).

'DIGLTR4N: REVo/eLu/aTION'

is a continuation of the Geeter dody hi work

• whicnexplores

transness as it exists in cyberspace. This latest of work refers to

biblical armageddon, acting as a response to 'The Transgender Debate',

Roibí claims the apocalyptic, abominable power that is projected onto the Trans Community by their opposition and used it to imagine a Transgender Supremacist, Post-Apocalyptic , High-Kitsch chaos; a world where trans people have the power to reshape the paradigms of society, force feminisation, hyper sexualisation, bimbofied, Yassified and queer.
