TUSUKLAH, meaning ‘JUST STAB IT’ activates Kosasie’s dagger sculpture ‘My Surrender Your Offering (5 luk/5 wave), using it as a concealed hairpin—a historical method of covert weapon-carrying by women. As she repeatedly struggles and stabs to fix her hair, the performance fuses ritual, violence, and the everyday, exposing how acts of adornment can be transformed into tools of protection and protest.
