INTI-mate HealinG is a public performance installation by artist, activist and curator Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi (also known as crazinisT artisT) that expands the discussion about bodies seen as sick, imperfect, illegal and uncultured. The performance challenges notions about the representation of marginalised groups in mainstream media and the discriminatory policies that lead to economic, religious, medical and social exclusion. In INTI-mate Heal-inG, the audience is invited to participate in a collective, embodied solidarity and healing body care, and to reflect on their own vulnerabilities, fears and privileges.

Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi (pronoun: sHit) is a multidisciplinary artivist, curator and the director of perfocraZe International Artists Residency (pIAR) in Kumasi, Ghana. With rituals and a gender-fluid persona, sHit employs sHits own body as a thought-provoking tool in performances, photography, video, and installations, ‘life-and-live-art’ confronting issues such as disenfranchisement, social justice, violence, objectification, internalised oppression, anti blackness, systemic indoctrination and many more. crazinisT has performed and exhibited across the globe as an artist including countries such as Nigeria, Togo, Ghana, Switzerland, South Africa, Germany, Netherlands, Cape Verde, USA, Spain, Brazil, France and UK.
