Nata poetike nga Uresa në Corner Comedy Club

Është një kënaqësi e jashtëzakonshme të kemi në mesin tonë një artiste të shkëlqyer si @uresaaaa e cila do të interpretojë për ju poezi nga libri I saj me të njëjtin titull “Qysh me abortu dreqin?”!

Uresa is an activist, writer, performance artist, and especially, a feminist killjoy. She finished her high school studies at United World College Maastricht in the Netherlands, after she won a national scholarship.

She graduated with an Arts Bachelor Degree from Wesleyan University, CT, USA, with a double major in Sociology and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. As an artist and activist she has always seen the two as inextricable from one another.

From shouting slam poetry in anti-deportation protests in the Netherlands to performing original interactive performance art pieces in the FemART festival in South-Eastern Europe, this combination of art and activism has shaped the course of her life.

She was a finalist in the Artist of Tomorrow Award at Stacion  Center for Contemporary Art in Prishtina with her cross-genre performance video installation Penetrating Air. This work was also part of The Screen of Art Festival in Shkoder, Albania in 2022. Her work, overall, addresses and challenges capitalist, hetero-normative and patriarchal social structures.

Her solo interactive performances From Other to Self, Interrogating Power, Ho-me is Where the Breath Is / (Be)longing, the podcasts she’s produced, and her recently published poetry book How the Hell Do I Abort a Demon among other works, call for self-agency, social awareness, and collective recognition and resistance of the ways in which systems of oppression co-exist and subjugate bodies.

In turn, she calls for the abolition of these systems altogether through queering norms, binaries, and ways of carrying oneself through the world.
