The Labyrinth of Female Freedom, 2020
Mixed Media
Durational performance, drawing, poetry books
Inside a white chalk circle on the floor, a performer reads poems written by female poets, modulating her voice between public proclamation to private whisper. The decision of the performer about the volume of her voice determines the space occupied by the performance. The number of poetry books by female poets grows in each performance iteration, always including books in the languages spoken there where the performance is shown.
First performed at the exhibition Love with Obstacles, Rose Art Museum, Waltham (2020)
