Everything Woman is Alien to Me is participatory art project collecting testimonies from those of us who jeopardize dominant powers by their existence.

Those who live independently of authority are considered a threat to the established order. The figure of the witch, for example, is that of a woman who is dangerous for her associations with evil, that is, for her hidden knowledge, her rejection of Puritanism, her autonomy in patriarchal society. Today, some social conditions remain the same, women are still discounted and disbelieved. The tides are now changing. It is time for those who have been silent and silenced to speak and be heard. For if you do not define yourself, you will be swallowed by the definitions of others.

The project consisted of an exhibition of witchhunt-inspired collages and illustrations, the Wall of Lost Voices (stories from the public on previously silenced emotions and experiences), and an open library of books on suppressed knowledge and historical figures. The public was invited to contribute texts, songs, quotes, poems, and anecdotes to the compilation of a collaborative text. In a week of workshops and interactive performances, we rewrote the narrative from the perspective of the suppressed to reveal sacred truths and the essential testimonials of histories denied by institutions of power. The project was co-organized with Angel Callander and Aggie Davies.
