Gender Studies

I realised I was a radical feminist long before I knew what the word "feminist" means. It was in childhood. I stand for idea that people are the prisons of language and gender roles are reproduced through the common language without conciously noticing. I am not only working with feministic ideas but I explore gender studies more generally. This have been one of my favorite topics in art since 2005. The idea to use gender in my art started to form when I discovered internet forum Delfi. People can comment news there. I collected the comments which where written by men about women or vice versa. They carried old fashioned views on gender roles. Since forums were back then anonymous and not censored, everyone could write anything. I made few smaller projects and finally whole Master project out of this. In 2009 forums were slightly censored already. For example, one couldn't use "dirty" words. My PhD project, started 2013 is called "Woman as a Hero".
