Panel: Sounding Out Genders

She will talk about her ways of combining electroacoustic music, theatre, and conceptual ideas from the point of view of a woman and mother, namely through three of her works: MachineWoman, Mother Too and Woman and In particular, she draws parallels between the blurring of media boundaries and the subsequent cross-fertilization of ideas, and the blurring of physical and psychic boundaries in pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood.
