‘’Hydra’’ is a performative investigation, with the mission to master the individual female voices in the public space and dig into their unspoken, using the voice as a discipline in the discourse of personal agency and authenticity. The digging aims to dramatize the individual voices into a collective one – a matriarchal monumnetof voices in resistance to the personal and political landscapes - a contemporary tale.
As a many-voiced Hydra creature, the piece is a consequence of the two-months long process and voice workshops led by the artist, dealing with the autobiographies of the six female agents, their voices, tongues, and wombs.
2023 ‘’Hydra’’ was awarded as a “Most Successful Artist and Work”︎︎︎ at the 14th International Biennale of Young Artists at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Skopje (MKD) / Supported by the Frauenfonds and Diversitätfonds Weimar.
