For Göteborg Internation Biennale foe Contemporary Arts (GIBCA) 2023, Southnord presented “MixRace MixTape”, a performance lecture by John-Paul Zaccarini at Röda Sten Konsthall.

John-Paul Zaccarini is a Professor of Performing Arts at Stockholm University of the Arts. “MixRace MixTape” is a stand-up, hip-hop, spoken word journey of passion, hope and humour that takes you on a lush poetic journey through everyday racism, homophobia and male privilege. Intellectual pop videos combine with verbal dexterity in this unique and provocative performance. Zaccarani is an award-winning solo theatre artist and a poet, and describes himself as: “a Dragademic, working class, queer hip-hop, drama clown queen of colour. Homo-funky and street spunky, serving up South London shade and immigrant working class realness, he blends the brains with the bitch and the spectacular with the serious.”
