From the culture journal, SIRP, these words:

“Arhebamen’s performances are very powerful ritual, which goes far beyond the modern feminine materiality bimboculture and represents more… creative power.”

This is where I turn green, grow enormous muscles and burst out of my clothing. But honestly, how flattering! Special thanks to the very fashionable billeneeve- makes her own clothes- for alerting me to this next one. I would never have known… and neither it seems, do the writers of this hilarious blog. By the way, click on any of the images or links to go to the original article.

I was basically the only black person in Estonia.

OK, so they don’t know my name yet but I think they like my style- I think.

From other media:

There were two articles from this paper, Parnu Postimees, about my performances. Sometimes you can kind of, sort of imagine what the words mean. Google’s translation of the other, similar caption says:

“Very emotional piece, the origin of the Nigerian Eseohe Arhebamen, whose narrative is an integral movement of the wall design of moving images and music. Tranquillizing veevulin and immobile inimskulptuur Arhebameni emotional vaheldusrikkas performance went smoothly, and the artist’s activities over the hüsteeriaks rituaali pointed out, during which people bring seestunud the negative forces.”

I hope you understand. But wait, there’s more!

The Writer's House is a great forum for language-arts. Thanks for hosting me!

Now for more troubling translations of the above snippet, courtesy of Google:

“The fifth festival esituskunsti Diverse Universe recalls the diversity of the world”

“This week of the festival performance, Diverse Universe, the Writers’ house in California on Wednesday, Steve Vanoni poets with roots in Nigeria and the U.S. writer, artist and dancer Eseohe Arhebameni.”

“Also, the middle-man macho-rocker image Vanoni remained faithful to read the poems written in the 1980s, and asked what could be if people treated each other like ungentle than wiping your ass to the bathroom. Poeesiast, dance and song with the presentation of winning the hearts of the audience Arhebameni embodying aafrikalikku natural flair and naiselikkust, are hard as opposed to a white man Vanoni. At the end of this piece dress for lipuvärvidesse Poetess. Diverse Universe continues today and tomorrow in Rakvere and Tartu and Pärnu Paides.”

and right under the image, it says:

“AMERICAN WRITER, ARTIST AND DANCER ESEOHE ARHEBAMEN.”

Yeah! 

Note: Steve Vanoni is a poet-artist-performer-musician extraordinaire I have been lucky to work with. Google him.
