Art al Quadrat: Transmutation

In this performance, the artists of Art al Quadrat (Mónica and Gema del Rey Jordà, born Valencia, 1982) take some of the pejorative terms found in trial reports from the Civil War to describe accused women, such as “dangerous, incendiary or immoral”, and wear them attached to their own bodies in a metaphorical and physical sense. By doing so, they transmute them into something collective in an exercise of empathy and sisterhood with the audience.
