HAIR IN MY MOUTH, 2023

Margot Samel Gallery, New York

The research for this work emerges from Estonian Folkloric songs that commonly describe daughters leaving the homes of their fathers for marriage. This traditional format is examined through methods of looping sound and text. Together, these elements will engage with the histories, symbolisms, and recurring structuring principles that these traditions carry with them to look at how we can move away from repeated patterns of domination. 

The performance is curated and co-produced by Kerly Ritval and organized by the Estonian Contemporary Art Development Center (ECADC) / Kai Art Center.

Supported by Baltic Culture Fund and the Estonian Ministry of Culture.
