No Shade: Betty Fvck & the House of Betty Fvck
Betty Fvck
House of Fvck members in a “no shade” interview with Betty Fvck.
Betty Fvck is an award-winning POC and immigrant queer artist based in Helsinki. She has performed in over 12 different countries and she was featured on over 50 magazines and TV. She is a voice for POC and Queer art to be heard.
House of Fvck is a Drag collective born in 2020 during the Helsinki Pride Week. It was a project for Nuorten Pride to teach young people under 18 to do Drag with makeup, costume and performance; the tutors were Chris Oh! and Betty Fvck.
After the project, the House stayed together with seven members and has kept performing together since then. In this video interview, Betty Fvck is in conversation with four members of the House of Fvck: Annabelle Fvck, a young Drag Diva from Turku who aspires to win the crowd with her charming beauty and slutty attitude; OG BoyPussy, bold and scary Drag who wants to challenge the norms and look like a wizard; Stormy Velvet, a funky, mysterious and androgynous drag character, who loves to bring fantasy and drama to the stage; Alice the Fvck, a dancer with hot moves that will make you scream.

READI think of how many people are not able to be involved in social movements because of their own disability or their caring responsibilities, or the way that forms of social violence take away their capacity, or their ability to fight that social violence, because they’re simply trying to stay alive.

READThis interview grows out of that ongoing process of working, thinking, and speaking together. While it takes the form of questions and answers on the page, in reality, it unfolded as a dialogue: her narratives of Palestine, her frameworks of hospitality and self-determination, and her reflections on Sweden intertwined with my own questions, concerns, and the shared struggles I see myself as part of.

READBulldozers, often seen as neutral tools of industrial demolition, are instruments of territorial domination, urban redevelopment, and political suppression. Yet within these acts of destruction, counter-narratives emerge—poetry, mourning, and collective remembrance—that reclaim agency in the face of state-sanctioned ruination. If ruination is a strategy of power, it is also a site of resistance.

READEveryone in Vilanismo is someone I met and grew close to within the contemporary art circuit. Some even earlier, through graffiti, like Robson, or São Paulo’s pixação scene. The idea was to understand how their practices could move forward collectively, while also allowing me to be part of that vehicle, amplifying one another. So the starting point was affection and mutual admiration.
