Chromosome W
An Alphabet of Womankind

One letter difference in our 23rd chromosome makes us female, if only were that simple. Two X Chromosomes perform in dystopian future taking us on a journey through the Alphabet of Womankind. A supposedly perfect AI presenter asks the questions on this eventful questionnaire regarding what it means to be part Womankind in this twenty-six step competition in order to choose the perfect Chromosome. Through video art and the use of AI, we explore what it means to be female. Performed by two performers and references from eastern europe's songs, poems, advertisements and interviews with femininities coming from our mothers, grandmothers, friends and stories we've crossed upon, we try to explore the female position in society, sexuality and sexualization and the female voice in art, science, society and culture in general. The project is built in a form of a competition/interview where the two performers "answer" on the questions formed by the presenter using their body as a medium to depict feminine expressions as formed by modern days society and the revolt against them.
