“HermAphrodite: A tribute to Diversity”
Syros, 27-31 July 2020

Open Call

“For the feminine and the masculine element of creation, we no longer need to speak in arguments but in praise. And the respect they deserve. And with the joy that they awaken us. “
French feminist theorist Monique Wittig points out that Woman is an “object” without freedom and autonomy while the only “subject” is male.
Before the law, fear and duality are all linked. The female with the female, the female with the male, the male with the female and the male with the male. And “they make war to make love.” (Eduardo Galeano)

Eye’s Walk Digital Festival starts a meeting between gender and identity that influence and shape the experiences, power and personal and social lives of all of us – Women, Men, Bisexuals and people with gender identity beyond the dominant dual identities.

“HermAphrodite” supports and participates in the project “We Are Here and Everywhere in the Balkans”, a research of history and culture of LGBTQ communities in the Balkans. A balkan project [Greece, Bulgary, Romania] awarded by the Cultural Management Academy Project Fund 2019 & Goethe Institut, with leading partner NGO ACCEPT / Romania.
