Hello there, here is Karen (@ kani.poika) continuing the conversation with Queef Latina (@ Queef.Latina) from Counter Corner

Why are you based in Miami?
-Miami, like New York, is a melting pot of many cultures and backgrounds- it is a wonderful place full of many opportunities. From my experience, other cities are are either too pretentious or too supersaturated, making it hard to stand out. Miami is a perfect place to make an impression as an artist, not to mention a great place to live!

In your performance, there are a lot of different artistic elements that have to be taken into consideration, such as the audiovisual aspects, costumes, storylines etc, could you tell us a little about how all these aspects come together, or just name a few of the things that you are involved with in making a powerful performance?
-There are many aspects that I take into consideration when creating a performance- I first see what my space/prop limitations my be, and then build around that. Most events I do usually have a theme, and those are my favorite because I love working to a theme. In the instances where there is no theme, I create a storyline for myself to stick to, always keeping with my “Queef” Aesthetic. I then begin to brainstorm over the span of a few days/weeks until I am able to put all the puzzle pieces together to create a powerful performance.
