SILVER BOOM (2021)

SILVER BOOM is a performative intervention by senior women in public spaces. The piece questions the relationship between urban space, gender and age. The work is interested in the emergence of a collective consciousness through the celebration of experienced women in the urban landscape.The participatory performance deconstructs the norms of motion in the city and draws visibility to experienced citizens living among us. What can we as a society learn from these bodies? What wisdom and stories do these women have to tell us?

     

SILVER BOOM is developed in each city with a new group of local women. A video artist accompanies the two-week rehearsal process, the documentation in the form of audio, video recordings, and pictures offer an intimate insight into the comprehensive process. SILVER BOOM is presented in form of a performance in public space and an urban video screening.
