The Collective

|
The Collective, simply put, is a collection of artists that all live in Madii Ward's body. Madii has Dissociative Identity Disorder, previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder, which has caused over 20 alternative identities to form to cope with trauma. Many of the alters (alternative identities) are artistic and choose to process these traumas in art.
Many of the alters are trans or nonbinary, and the system is autistic and disabled, so the themes of identity, autism, disability, and gender are approached often, as well as themes of trauma, depression, anxiety, and (of course) dissociative identity disorder/multiple personalities. The Collective is a professional visual artist, a drag & burlesque performer, and producer. and has experience as a tattoo apprentice and artist. |
