Connecting Women With Women

The artwork “Connecting Women with Women” consists of a white woolen yarn of Indian origin, which the artist will continue to rewind throughout the exhibition, gradually expanding its diameter until it reaches a human size.

​

The repeated act of rewinding the yarn is, as is typical of her practice, a reiteration that simulates the transmission of traditions, from family to family, from woman to woman, through the repetition of the same customs across generations. The wool thread becomes a symbol of storytelling, of weaving stories, which, as revealed by the voices in the audio track accompanying the installation, are always part of moments of female communion.

​

The recorded testimonies reveal the intertwined bonds, a subtle yet present undercurrent, between different generations of women through oral memory: through the recounting of their memories, the ancestors cross time, intertwining their values with the lives of women in the present, even without ever having known them.
