Edi Mandala is an amazing self-taught, ever evolving artist, with a remarkable back catalogue of mosaic art works and commissions. His home is adorned with some painstakingly intricate mosaic artwork that really deserve their own retrospective show at some point in the future. However, like all true artists, one medium isn’t enough, and he’s now moved on to create a mash up of spoken word poetry, artwork and social commentary, alongside his current multimedia project 99 Bigots, of which more in a moment. Edi is also working on a children’s book based on an old piece of driftwood he found washed up on a beach. He juggles all this whilst holding down a job with Brighton Buses as a driver. Oh, and he’s also given away all of his trousers and has become an avid kilt wearer.
99 Bigots is online activism, and is a mixed media project encompassing audio, artwork, poetry and literature. The goal is to take on the language of hate speech, bigotry, racism and discrimination; satirising the words most commonly used and the view points most often taken when people choose to discriminate. Edi Jay Mandala calls himself an ARTIVIST, an artist activist challenging both sides of the divide to come together somewhere in the middle.

The title music is Tropicalia do Norte by El Equipo Del Norte. Also, in case it's not clear or there's any doubt about the division of labour, Tanya does nothing on the show (that cannot be emphasised enough).
