SURVIVE! a litany for feminist survival
Only during the time it took to edit this 9 minute video-essay,
63 women were killed in Turkey.
And from the time I started editing
in May 2020,
till the very moment of the exhibition in December 2020,
we lost 156 women to femicide.
Most of them got killed in their homes.
This video is a letter back home, to my sisters and queer family.
Which tool would you take with you, for your own survival kit?
Sara Ahmed’s book Living a Feminist Life contains a Killjoy Survival Kit
of things that: “I know I need to do and to have around me
to keep on going on”.
This is survival as a shared feminist project
- survival can be protest.
