State of Play
Zuvuya
About
Caroline Lindo is the artist behind State of Play and Zuvuyania. She focuses mainly on making multidimensional performance and installation art pieces, and giving knowledge transfers through classes, sessions, retreats, lectures and events.
She studied fashion design and textile design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy where she graduated with a woven network of demonstrations and protests. Her thesis was an in depth research on how to best collapse any system, be it political or architectural. After her graduation in 2012 she started studying and practicing Tantra, Dream Yoga, IFS and Art Therapy.
In her work she investigates the connection between the visible and non visible, she visualizes and creates connections. She is interested in the ways in which people relate to each other, themselves, the field of ideas (inspiration, playfulness) and to the earth.
Her art is full of magical touches, social/political awareness and color. The philosophy that moves her forward is that the best way to predict the future is to create it. She has a clear vision of how she wants the world to look and will spend her time on this planet manifesting that.
VISION
My vision is to cocreate a world where Magic is Realism. Nourishing human evolution by creating natural timeless spaces (for observation, inspiration, transformation, cocreation, and integration. )
MISSION
My mission is to create a land-based magical realm full of multidimensional portals for intra and extra terrestial communication, so that fellow cocreators of the new earth can recharge, play and heal. Nurturing our collective evolution.
PURPOSE
My purpose is to make the earth fun enough to (re)incarnate on, and inspire, empower and provide others with the tools to do the same.
VALUES
Autenticity
Integrity of being. Abra Cadabra comes from the Armaic I create as I speak. One cannot create magic by falling out of authenticity.
Individuation
We are all unique sparks of the source/god creation. Peeling back layers of conditioning is what allows our natural magic to shine and enchant the world around us and ourselves.
Creativity
The same energy that created the moon, the stars, the mountains and oceans created you and me. That creative force is at our fingertips if we let it, so lets let it.
Wonder
By slowing down, the natural miracle of life reveals herself. Don’t forget
to breathe.
"I find a lot of poetry in the creating of rope and networks. Its parallels to life, love, co-creation and human connection are spot on and even tantric. How two strips of textile, twisted around each other are so much stronger than just the sum of both strengths is amazing. One plus one can be three sometimes. When those ropes tie together in a network, the pressure can be distributed throughout the whole body. There is now room to relax and to play.
I dedicate my work to anyone in the human and more then human world who needs the healing powers of connection, co-creation and play, and I hope that more people than I can possibly imagine will enjoy my creations."
