Artist Nástio Mosquito's most recent project No.One.Gives.A.Mosquito's.Ass.About.Us explores the political potential of our dreams and visions. It asks the questions 'Who or what has power over us?' and 'Who or what is really important to us?'. The project takes a different shape each time he presents it.
For Tate Modern, he has created an evening that unfolds in three distinct acts. Drawing on voice, sound, video and performance, it offers audiences the opportunity to discover the artist's key impulses and multimedia approach in unexpected ways.
