Ekdysis is the solo show of Niya B, curated by Arreum Moon.
Niya B re-reads the Greek myth from an eco-transfeminist lens through a series of performances for the camera filmed on site, and live actions.

About

In Greek mythology, the seer Tiresias was allegedly transformed into a woman for seven years for disturbing two copulating snakes on Mount Cyllene.
The project, of which this exhibition represents its first iteration, is called ‘Ekdysis’ – the biological term referring to the process of shedding the external layer of the skin in reptiles. Counteracting the traditional, patriarchal way of manufacturing history, Niya B engages with her own autobiography to re-envision this metamorphosis as a transgender mythopoesis, which is directly affected by ecology, the feminine/Other and the non-human.

At Enclave Projects, on the opening day, the artist will perform a durational act by activating the elements of water and air through a ritualistic process of erasure and letting go. The act, which includes live footage and field recordings from Mount Cyllene, will allow her and the audience to enter in a liminal time-space of potential change, and originate an installation that will be inhabiting the space until the end of the show.
