FCNN – Feminist Collective With No Name (Dina El Kaisy Friemuth/Anita Beikpour) with Neda Sanai

Founded 2016 in Copenhagen, DK

Since its inception in 2016, FCNN – Feminist Collective With No Name has compiled a variety of initiatives in Denmark. FCNNNews used the format of a news program as an instrument to subvert traditional notions of who speaks and who is heard. The topics covered went from white institutions and representation to the harms of gentrification and community-based resistance. FCNN exposes the violence towards and inherent exclusion of BIPoCs, queer folx, and working class people. They also denounce sexual harassment and racism within the art establishment. FCNN founded The Union–Cultural Workers’ Union for Black and People of Colour. The Union specifically aims to provide BIPoC artists with legal and other forms of support.

Hydrocapsules.love (2020) brings FCNN’s members Anita Beikpour and Dina El Kaisy Friemuth together with artist and music producer Neda Sanai. Proposed as a space both digital and physical, this new project functions as an ecofeminist organism of different collaborations and conversations specific to non-white voices. Instead of reaching out to be rejected, tokenized or stepped over, the project organizes, takes ownership, and creates communal agency. In this case, the collective is a feminist strategy that cancels the singular artist model as a producer of finished art commodities.

In a time when IRL gatherings have to reorganize, Hydrocapsules.love interrogates how a message can be shared. Even as we move fast and face the uncertainty of in-person reunion, depth can come through as a slogan. It is not only words describing a meaning but the combination of the object, the words, and the placement. Reading cyphers, music sharing, t-shirts, posters, and zines can all be vehicles for coming together. Traces of these encounters can be seen in a kind of concept store display. During Hydrocapsules.love, participants and guests will not refuse comfort for each other, tracing avenues to exist beyond the canons of capitalism, whiteness, and colonialist cultural inheritance.
