Anatomalia: anatomy + anomaly + femalia 

 

Anatomy is shaped by experience; Anomaly is something different. All too common in the realm of Femalia is the experience of sexual violence. Anatomalia is the anatomy of healing the trauma done to Femalia.

​

Anatomalia, a series of performative and choreographic installations, in multiple spaces that audience follows.

 

Anatomalia creates transformative rituals through performance and collective action and aims to change inner landscape and outer world.
