Our Fragil Presence in Time and Space CV/Bio/Pics







G.Amani

Rotten Stones
I will be seated dressed in white with a pile of feminist literature around me. I read out loud various paragraphs from the numerous books that address patriarchy and its effects on society. Within the space of the performance there will be a bucket of rotten tomatoes, that the audience is invited to throw at me if they choose to.

This performance deals with the taboo of talking about patriarchy in relation to women's rights in contemporary society. I want to look at spaces that are deemed safe for women and the shift that occurs once one steps outside the doors of these fragil spaces. I am using space as a way of asserting my power as an individual, to talk about issues that are important to me, but also moving from the inside of a safe space for women and thier dialogue, into the outside world where such conversations are generally ignored and/or contested. Michel Foucault suggests that conflict leads to discourse and I'm hoping that this performance will provide a forum for more dialog about a topic that seems to be written off as having been dealt with and overcome.


The budget includes
- Bucket of rotting tomatoes - $50.00
- Used white clothes - $15.00
- Permit (if done in street) -Four Month Permit = $34.81 + $1.74 GST = $36.55
