Leman Sevda Darıcıoğlu received the DAAD Prize 2024, awarded for the “outstanding achievements of international students studying at German universities”, with their graduation project Fire, everywhere in Live Art Forms at AdBK, Nuremberg on July 10.
Fire, everywhere
Live performance for 8 hours
2023-2024
Fire, everywhere unpacks the complexity of resistance and resilience within queer lives. It turns the iconic symbol of the fight, the boxing glove, into research on violence and dynamics of empowerment. The performance questions how to navigate trajectories of oppression when hegemonic powers seem insurmountable for the marginalised. Through eight hours of mourning, anger, and transformation, Fire, everywhere explores ways to challenge and twist power dynamics, seeking expanding love for life amidst the constant fight.
