Matriarchy 

Exhibition and performance in Galerie Noord, Groningen (2024)
During the exhibition MATRIARCHAAT, we performed with two cubic meters of Groningen clay, shaping the emergence of a world centered on coexistence. 
The work explores togetherness and the ability to live with one another. In the performance, we examined how nature offers what it has to give, 
and how this relates to the artificial act of constructing a livable world, and how these two can meet.

The performance revolved around gratitude and reciprocity: for what exists and for what is created by human hands. Through organic forms and 
artificial structures, we expressed the tension between nature and human intervention. In matriarchal societies, the focus lies more on harmony, 
collective existence, and fair distribution. This contrasts with patriarchal societies, where male power and leadership tend to dominate.
