"Inspiration is a bitchy muse"

In performance:


C& talks to multimedia artist Nástio Mosquito about his performative practice and his music-driven projects. One of his newest collaborations is called Nastivicious that merges music, the digital world and performances.
C&: Tell us a bit about your artistic journey. How did it all begin?
Nástio Mosquito: Spiritually and physically speaking, I do rate coming to planet earth and having to breathe on my own as a crucial moment; the beginning of the journey of the art of living. But I guess if I indulge your question, there’s no international vibe to my work without the 1st Luanda Triennial.

C&: You are based in Luanda but at the same time you move around, working in various places in the world. With these experiences in mind, how do you see the Angolan art scene – locally and internationally speaking?

NM: I am not a good source for that type of observational testimony. I am very happy about not being the only Angolan working in this area. There are actually more than I knew.
