INTERSECTIONS
A video installation by AnaVitória
My body is not from another, my body belongs to me. The different forms of gender violence are part of the regulation of social norms and the physical and psychological aggressions suffered by women, in affective relationships, within the family or in the public space, function as social devices aimed at maintaining male power, in which they standardize, symbolically, the feminine as inferior and women as “preferential and chronic victims of physical force or sexual violation”. For how long will this damn heritage of atavistic patriarchal values continue to haunt us and take our lives?
This performance is a tribute to the 30 women killed during january at mars and the covid pandemic in Portugal em 2020.
