The performance SHELTER is addressing the life and work of women and the conditions that shape them. As well as, the stereotypes and the gender identity that is assigned to them. Those conditions are the result of women’s systematic oppression in human society.

 

"During the four hours long performance, I will collaborate with a bunch bed sheets and a sculpture. The bed sheets are donated by women that seemingly have few in common but they have all experience the labor of love. They have all lied down on those bed sheets tired, desperate, scared or happy and satisfied; sometimes alone, sometimes in the arms of a loved one or next their torturer. Their most sacred dreams have soaked on those bed sheets. The most occult secrets are buried under the sheets of the beds that they have made with their own hands."

 

Whomever wishes to share with the artist this personal piece of their lives, can leave their bed sheets at a.antonopoulou.art gallery until October 7th or offer them during the performance. The bed sheets can be of any color and size, new or old. The only condition is for you to have used them to rest your body and dream of a new world. A world in which women will be able to claim their dreams without fearing for their lifes.

 

The performance SHELTER will take place at a.antonopoulou.art gallery on October 9, from 12:00 to 16:00.

Please be advised that all visitors must provide proof of vaccination against Covid-19 and wear their masks all the time.
