Free from convention, Hibiscus TV is a platform for unbridled creativity.  Grounded in the absurd and authentic expression, it is the convergence of two artistic minds, Kaye Freeman and Amy Kaps, exploring infinite possibilities.  

The genesis of Hibiscus TV occurred in 2019 when we were commissioned by the Museum of Art and History in Lancaster, CA to curate a show titled, Anatomy of a Painting. This collaboration culminated in a short film, The Seven Winds. This led to the creation of the HIBISCUS TV YouTube channel. The films explore a variety of topics focusing on the Elements.  The two have been sharing a studio in downtown Los Angeles ever since.

Our multiple disciplines as performance artists, dancers, painters, installation artists, short film makers and musicians brings a holistic approach to our conversation. Formative years in Japan, Hong Kong, Germany and Australia left an indelible mark on who we are and the work we produce.

We approach serious subject matter with irreverence, humor, and emotional nuances.  Celebrating the imperfect in a world that demands perfection, we intentionally challenge the notions dictating what female artists over sixty can or should do. Our content addresses climate change, ageism and misogyny in a relatable, yet deeply moving fashion by referencing a variety of mythologies accessed by our varied backgrounds.

The work is about the world we inhabit materially and metaphysically.  The conversation between art and environment takes place as we witness exponential damage caused in our lifetime. Through the study of Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Science and Philosophy, we uncover the commonalities uniting us as a species.

We defy innate patriarchal perceptions of women over sixty and how that can then allow space for a new dialogue about how to approach challenges to the environment. Conversations from a matriarchal and feminine/feminist perspective on solutions through experiential story/ nonstory telling. Exploring ideas on how paradigms other than capitalism are worth pursuing as definitions of success and happiness. Through recognizable archetypes and symbols, we stir our fellow earthlings to action using classic theatrical techniques to uncover a deeper meaning and nuance behind initial perceptions.
