EPHEMERAL FEMME
Video and Ritual
Ephemeral Femme is a mixed media performance piece by Coachella Valley artists, Michelle Castillo and Kristin Winters. A recorded ritual + poetic sound piece, Ephemeral Femme possesses multilayered components of both sustainable location practices and feminism theory.
Sound and Poetry
Experimental sound and spoken poetry, guided by writer and social practice artist, Michelle Castillo, begins a conversation of liminal femme psyche and radical response to our beloved environment. On-site field recordings become a catalyst for topographic intimacy.
Performance and Location
Amongst the mountains of La Quinta Cove to Whitewater and Mission Creek Preserve, the Land of the Cahuilla people shapes the narrative of Ephemeral Femme. From unpredictable weather patterns and consequential flooding, to candid ethereal moments, our performance celebrates transitions as we navigate desert locations in real time.
What is Feminist Theory and how do we express it through Radical Empathy and Sustainable Practices?
