Brad Rose from Foxy Digitalis interviews Nnux about ‘Metamorfosis’

The project transformed significantly when you encountered the Arhuaco concept of shape-shifting, the idea that chamans take on the perspectives of non-human beings in order to understand the world differently. What did that teaching open up for you? How did it change the direction of the album?

My intention in reading all these myths was to try to understand the social construct of femininity beyond what has been established from Western thought. I wanted to understand that as a general notion, but also within myself. How much of who I am as a woman is socially constructed? The short answer is, pretty much all of it. But in finding this notion of shape-shifting to understand different perspectives, I found the desire of how I would like to live not only as a woman but as a human, which was very deep for me. Reading all these stories allowed me to think of femininity in its different possible dimensions. Seeing that complexity and navigating that complexity while staying flexible is how I want to exist in this lifetime.
