When I heard I was invited to play a church in Milan during the AUDIOVISIVA festival I was first disappointed to not be able to show my recent calligraphy works in an audio-visual situation, and I thought, well churches, I played some before, I was not prepared for that. when I arrived at the church in the afternoon of the event, I bumped into a very traditional Italian catholic wedding with a huge family and I was stunned but shortly later participating in a catholic mass with organ and choir and a homily, words were missing, i thought: I WILL PLAY HERE TONIGHT ? it took my breath, the overwhelming size, sound and beauty of the church and the meditating grannies around, made me appreciate this event in a total different way I can not express so far. Standing up there at midnight and sing my poetry, throw deconstructed techno beats into this ancient filled with humans space as a female artist, gave the whole a feminist and wider dimension. I want to thank the curators and promoters for helping me to achieve that situation. best agf
