A community of bodies hosting migrating cells

Opening on September 5 at 5 pm

PRIM-Dazibao production-dissemination residency

Anouk Verviers’s exhibition presents the first two chapters of a dystopian trilogy that explores chronic pain as experienced by women and non-binary people. In the first video, performers erect a cob column that symbolizes their mutual support for one another as they collectively rewrite the story of their exhaustion. The second evokes four thousand years of history through a geological metaphor for endometriosis. Throughout the series, bodies dealing with pain merge with their treatment and transform into feminist cyborgs endowed with the power to act not only on their pain but, more importantly, with it.

Exhibition presented by MOMENTA Biennale d’art contemporain and produced in partnership with Dazibao.
