Direct Message Collective

Direct Message Collective was established in 2018 by Michał Przybyła and Dominik Więcek out of the need to implement original performance projects, exhibitions, installations and workshops. The work of their informal collective revolves around identity and social issues. The non-heteronormativity of these two artists has a great impact on the creation process and the final effects of their work, which distinguishes them in the artistic community in Poland.

Direct Message Collective

The performance is an attempt to face the ‘real man’ stereotype in order to show many variants of masculinity. Thus, it crosses the borders of the stereotype and redefines male identity as seen in a broader aspect, not excluding attitudes that deviate from the learned norm. We are looking for an answer to the question of how to leave men an informal right to express tenderness or sentimentality in the public space.
