Eurydice

Born on Lesbos, Greece, Eurydice is a multimedia artist & writer whose body of work is infused with consistent ideological & aesthetic resistance to female marginalization & silence. She is an activist, archivist & podcaster in a patriarchy that binds women to its words, laws, paradigms, morals. Eurydice has published 3 books--Satyricon USA: A Journey Across the New Sexual Frontier (Scribner), f/32: The Second Coming (Virago), f/32 (Fiction Collective) & was an investigative journalist for Spin magazine. She has given numerous art exhibits, readings & performances. As a woman in a patriarchy that binds women to its words, laws, paradigms, aesthetics, Eurydice reclaims the male logos & gaze to express the suppressed truths that they were constructed to distort. Eurydice has used most media on behalf of feminist resistance, revealing the insidious ways in which the language & the gaze turn the female nude into socially demeaning voyeuristic pornography. The history of the ineffable representation of the female nude in art from the earliest scratches on cave walls to now, the resulting disconnection between woman & her body, & the quest to turn woman from idealized/eroticized object into subject, constitute Eurydice's creative themes. She is the host of the Speak Sex podcast, an archival project of conversations about sexual languages, choices, agencies, presentations, personal narratives that enhance minority & queer visibility in dominant culture; a safe, sober environment to re-examine codes, semantics, patterns, symbols, signifiers; an educational platform dedicated to holistic humanism. Eurydice speaks for countless generations of silenced women.
