"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)
"The upheaval is inevitable. The question is how well one can cause it and how to find the best way to be in it." (Judith Buttler)
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. Awarded by the Cultural Management Academy Funds 2019 & Goethe Institut, in collaboration with NGO ACCEPT / Romania.

Inspiration for the participants:
• Eye’s Walk Digital Festival can provide digital material from the stories of LGBTQ communities in Romania [ongoing study of ACCEPT team].
The team of the Eye’s Walk Digital festival will be responsible for the curatorial work.
Starting from the island of Syros the project “HermAphrodite” may appear in other cities in Greece and abroad as an opportunity for the audience to connect with the public space through the art.
