A curated reflection on Damchö’s early practice — from publication and drawing to performance and erasure — tracing the foundations of a durational inquiry into impermanence, presence, form and intent.

A candid, contemplative conversation tracing Damchö’s path from monastic life to ritual embodiment, intimacy, and self-reclamation through Bodhi Unbound.

Damcho, a former Buddhist monastic, reflects on the relationship between agency and particular materials of self-fashioning. She uses Buddhist terminology to define her journey through latex culture, and how this experience brings a new consciousness to the body as a vehicle for inner awakening. Viewing the body as a temple and mirror, she searches for a special wisdom only accessed through the heightened sensory state of a tight-fitting second skin.

In this candid and contemplative conversation with the Alter Ego Podcast, Damchö reflects on a life shaped by spiritual devotion, rupture, and transformation. Moving between monastic discipline and embodied artistic practice, the dialogue explores ritual, identity, taboo, and the thresholds where freedom and constraint meet.

Reflecting on the work of Thai artist Montien Boonma, this essay by Damchö explores how ritual, grief, and symbolic form become ways to speak the unspeakable, tracing the limits of language and the silent architectures of healing.

A survivor’s account from within a Tibetan Buddhist organisation. This trauma-informed reflection explores the entanglements of devotion, silence, and spiritual coercion — offered as part of an ongoing inquiry into rupture and repair.
