Who cannot be heard? As Rebecca Solnit writes in The Mother of All Questions, the key to herstories is silence.
MISSPIECE is an account of a personal process of finding one’s own voice and one’s own place in a world of predefined social roles. An attempt to unseal the canon and find herstories within it. Exploring the emancipatory potential in house music as a space for the manifestation of the female voice and in the body, which is constantly in motion, creating and processing things.
In MISSPIECE, the body is both a shelter for the silenced voice and a source of its extraction.
