Meet RACKEL MESSE A BIDIAS | Visual and contemporal artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with RACKEL MESSE A BIDIAS and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi RACKEL, let’s talk legacy – what do you want yours to be?
I want my legacy to impact the world possitively being music.pop.politics.economic.social.and spiritually through my artistic movement. I want people to remember me as a conqueror and peace lover

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Born in africa Cameroon was more of a rocky road rather than being a golden road to me. I worked to strengthen my art but things got much harder because Africans did not value the worth of visual artists. Conflicts, crisis between the English-speaking region and the French-speaking region got me homeless for some years, COVID-19 was also an outstanding factor which renders life more than a nightmare. My passion did not succeed in paying all my bills. I had to experience humiliation when introduced as an artist; there was discrimination in public areas I had to go through depression. I was reduced to asking myself a lot of questions. Suddenly, the tragic situation in 2020. I had a STROKE on one the left side of my body ,lleaving me paralyzed .not giving up on achieving my mission and dreams not to fade away,

Sincerely today, I can only say I am very grateful to the universe to have preserved my gift no matter how

external elements almost thwarted my destiny. I was terribly misunderstood as a child, there was limited

exposure to the art, tools and infrastructure. I would say the road was rough but that made me tough. I keep on creating for my people and writing my legacy as a black artist. On the way to achieving greatness.
I learn si many lessons and i will rather say constant progresse is better than perfect stagnation.

My brand is unique and i often speak hidden truth and life stories .people with whom i cross path with. Day to day activities and a dream of everlasting peace and most of all balance an equity for all in regardless to colr ans race…

A message to the world about my art is simple “the dream of everlasting peace shall become will remain an aflicting illusion to be attain .untill the color of a mans skin is of no more significant than the color of his eyes every were is war”
My greatest dreams will be to have a show in Houston to honore the black leaniage ancesstors who faught for our way in both africa and its diaspora.
