Jeanna Criscitiello - ...and then there was EVE - 2023
...and then there was EVE is a woman performative concert by Jeanna Criscitiello that stems from a larger artistic practice exploring feminism and identity.
EVE is a composite of heroines combined to make a protagonist with her own story. A collection of EVE heroes was compiled from multiple perspectives through invited participants asked to name a personal heroine and identify an object - book, work of art, photograph... - representative of that figure. Their submissions ranged from family members, to poet Sophie Podolski, filmmakers Chantal Akerman and Maya Deren, writers Marguerite Duras and Susan Sontag, frontierswoman Calamity Jane, Greek mythological goddess Penelope, ecological activist Julia Butterfly, architect Denise Scott Brown, painter Alice Neel, and literary evergreen Pippi Longstocking.
Jeanna has performed in our house on October 13th, 2023, 8:00pm.
