Director Bio



Bones Tan Jones is a queer heretic whose work spans multiple disciplines and timelines, blending ancient mythologies with contemporary storytelling. Raised in a church choir, their practice of “optimystic dystopia,” merges spiritual rituals, operas, sigils, and interactive workshops to explore alternative realities and challenge norms. As their alter ego YaYa Bones, they channel pop stardom on the dark web, blending music with activism and imagination.
