JOANA STEFANUTTO
transdisciplinary artist

​I carry marks and scars of my own and so many others.
I carry Marielle's raised arm, Maria da Penha's cry of enough, Joana D'arc's sharp sword and Malala's shot, but also Cleopatra's throne.
I carry the power of Frida Kahlo, the elegance and calluses of Marta and Formiga, the genius of Marie Curie and the sisterhood of a friendly sister, I was born a woman, I am a warrior and a queen.
For me, for those who came and for those who will come.
I am a lap and I am a womb, but I am also so many other things.
I'm mad.
Out of choice and out of instinct.
Lioness, I am a fighter and I wear my armor every day.
We are the ones who create life and nobody takes that away from us.
I've been killed so many times, and I've been reborn so many times...
We are more, let them fight.
