I wanted simplicity, I wanted something quietly brave, quietly defiant. I wanted there to be intimacy. I wanted to find a place between beauty and ugliness. I’m tired of seeing women depicted as being hunted by men in our culture. This woman is the hunter. She goes out into the world and sees it as hers - she wants something from it. [It] is about exploring one’s pleasure in all possible ways, free from any shame. It’s about finding a safe space where this is welcomed and supported.

I remember looking into your eyes, I remember our energy, I remember you testing me, I remember me testing you, I remember feeling the most alive in those moments, I remember the dam breaking, like a primal scream. I want it again, I want to see you again.. This new music is everything I wanted it to be. I want you to hear what I’ve created and laboured on with love for so long, for you, for us.

VICTORIA SIN - Define Gender

“ The labour of femininity isn’t only performance. It’s perseverance in the face of our ascribed and inscribed precarity. It’s the struggle to be respected and have our agency recognized.

When I decide to take up space, it often comes across as rude to those who are used to me making myself small to accommodate them. (...)

The bigger the hair, the larger the space I occupy. It was always my space but now you’re aware that you were in it. And you move aside. (...)”
