Let’s make noise, sisters!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s been fifteen years now since I’ve been creating sound pieces responding to the particular social situations, acoustic compositions result from cooperation with individuals, groups and communities: students, workers, activists. My focus is on vocal performances in public spaces that address social anger, activism and the sense of powerlessness and my need for radical statement became overwhelming, forming the following call:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Can we gather all our anger and a need for change and transform them into new energy? Abandon our defensive positions and become visionaries? Can we change anger into music with a stunning and cathartic force?
\n\u2013 For years, we have been protesting, demonstrating and trying to fix the crumbling system. The art and NGOs took over the role of caring for the society, thus removing this burden from the shoulders of politicians and corporations. What would happen if we \u2013 activists and artists \u2013 refused to care for the common good, sense of community, subjectivity and beauty? What if we stop trying to fix the system? Let it finally fall.
\n\u2013 Let\u2019s work through tension and aggression with a cathartic experience. The energy invested in expressing the need for profound change cannot be wasted.
\n– Let’s make more music, sisters. Let’s work together and never compromise ourselves to political circumstances, for as long as here, in Europe, we still can.
\n\u2013 Let’s collaborate, let’s explore our feminity, diversity, heritage, social background, let’s use all spectrum of senses, let them grow in power, take over, and embrace our dying mother Earth with a protective cloud of sound.
\n\u2013 Let’s never exclude. We have powerfull tools. Let’s offer our audience a beautiful way to channel their anger, frustration, sense of powerlessness \u2013 or otherwise, to let their empowerment shine.
\n\u2013 Let’s awake some good spirits! We all need them now.<\/p>\n
