“This gesture of reclamation, recurrent in Auriane Preud’homme’s practice, questions the mechanisms of assignment and definition imposed by a patriarchal society, and invites a freer, more inclusive, and resolutely playful understanding of language. With humor and poetry, Tanaland reaffirms the power of speech, no longer as an instrument of oppression, but as an act of claim-making and collective transformation. It is not merely about breaking the stigma, but about standing upright, together, in the face of a language and a world that seek to diminish us.” Text by Fatma Cheffi (full text in french here)
