Chagnon, performer, 2005
In these wounded landscapes
where battles are rooted
In these concerts of smoking ruins
Rebellious women with warrior eyes
Arrogant and wrathful women
Muscled tigresses of the urban jungle
Les Fernières obsédées,
performers, 2008
...
Women invested in the field of art
Amalgamating pomp, symbols, and objects
Tipping the too-often-seen into humour and mockery
Luminescent ghosts appear on the radar screen
On the look-out for oblique tendencies
and divergent trajectories |
• Letter to my rebellious and mutant friends (fragments)
Women of heart and women of mind,
you are all fierce
alive and activist, invigorated and muscular
anembarrassed and affirmed,
stubborn and even insolent
Chipping away at the territory of man
shaking on his pedestal
Brandishing freedom, equality, recognition, and difference as the fundaments of authenticity
Fierce battlers of the war of the sexes
fighting for the affirmative
The yes, I can if and only if I want to
...
