What they Call Me is an interdisciplinary project exploring name-calling of women and its’ effects on the human psyche: what one is called, affects who one becomes, 2019
What They Call Me is an interdisciplinary adaptable installation. The work includes text (photocopies), sound, sculpture, and objects. The installation focuses on names women are called and names women call themselves. Name-calling happens inside the home and outside on the street. Through the visual and auditory elements in this work, the viewer is “seen and named.” A clothesline is the focal point of What They Call Me installation. The lines act as meshworks for all of the material parts to interact. The use of a clothesline was reinforced by a trip to Havana Cuba where people hang their laundry out to dry from balcony clotheslines. There is a kind of domestic beauty seeing arrangements of family garments flowing and hanging out in full view. The clothesline is the architecture for the installation and acts as a metaphorical “bridge” for hanging up “words about women.”
What They Call Me (Audio), 2019, is a collaborative project featuring the voices of Roxy and son Misha Savage, a Brooklyn, NY based musician and music producer.
