It is such a beautiful and powerful thing. It was horrendous.Īfter many years, and a lot of therapy, the Fandangoe Discoteca emerged in collaboration with The Loss Project. I didn’t really have any language around grief, my experience of loss until that point had been very limited, so I was catapulted from nothing to huge loss and the people who would have normally supported me with that loss were dead. There was probably a lot of survivor’s guilt, although I didn’t have the language for it then. It was a period in my life when more people who loved me unconditionally were dead than were alive and I had to question – why am I here? What am I here for? I couldn’t work out what my purpose was. In the initial years after the tragedy I couldn’t really do much more than just survive. One of these is the Fandangoe Discoteca, a mini disco kiosk where people can dance and “shake out” their grief. In the aftermath of these devastating losses Nicholson, as her alter-ego, The Fandangoe Kid, began to create public art works. Then in 2016, her father, who had terminal cancer, also died. She lost her mother, her sister and her sister’s partner in an accident in 2011. The artist Annie Frost Nicholson, 39, lives in London.
