Loulou João is an AfroBelgian 3D illustrator and animator, due to her mixed roots she developed an interdimensional worldview.
Because of this, she approaches political, cultural, socio-economic and historical aspects of the white world in an analytical way. Investigating how white superiority is upheld and how it affects her own identity and position within this societal setting.
She attempts to shine a different light on the narration and representation of black and mixed women. She sees blackness as a technology. One that is constantly evolving to survive and go up against objectification and oppression.
By making use of 3D software (blender), she visualises her own reality. a digital world that consists of candy coated squishy plastic objects. Within this reality she is able to focus on the expression of her own true self without any constructs weighing her down. And she can create her own safe space, giving her the opportunity to reflect on the struggles she faces in the physical world.
