Artist Statement:
A Womxyn Destroyed is a performance that delves into the anger felt by femme or femme-identified individuals who have traversed the spectrum of femme experiences, embracing, transforming, or relinquishing this identity while frequently concealing these emotions. Through this virtual performance, I create a space for the expression and exploration of anger.
The first performance will be by the creator of the project Amanda Stojanov.

A Womxyn Destroyed” is a performance exploring the anger experienced by femme or femme-identified individuals who have navigated various aspects of femme identity, often concealing their emotions. This virtual performance creates a space for expressing and exploring this anger. The inaugural performance will be conducted by the project’s creator, Amanda Stojanov. The performance references texts including Simone de Beauvoir’s “The Woman Destroyed” (1969) and Melissa Febos’ “Girlhood” (2021).
