This event will feature BILOURA Intercultural Arts Collective with their performance SILENT VOICES, followed by a post-performance Q&A

SILENT VOICES is a reflection on the female body's portrayal as an object of trade, pleasure, and pain. Addressing the global issue of female sexual exploitation, the performance delves into the deeply entrenched patriarchal culture and its close ties to economic exploitation of the vulnerable. Through dance, visual art and soundscapes, the poetic performance addresses a complex topic with delicacy and shines a spotlight on the lives behind and beyond exploitation. The dramaturgy of the performance leads the spectator into an intimate space, where political themes are transcribed in the personal, dancing on the bodies of the performers, resonating in the space like a mood, peeking through a gap in the wall. SILENT VOICES is an invitation to watch, to listen, to get closer to some of the most marginalized women in the world. The collaborative creation process involved artists from both European and Asian backgrounds, incorporating testimonies from women across Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe. This intercultural approach allows for a multifaceted exploration of the theme without providing definitive answers, but rather sharing insights gleaned from five years of research into the complex phenomenon of sexual exploitation within sex industry.
