For Donja Hota, Enkidu brings together the artists Betina Abi Habib, Leila Anderson, Ana Vilela Da Costa, Yasmine Deroui, Line Mertens, Arzu Saglam, Nadia Lauro and Alma Saray. Gathered around the legacy of feminist writer Nawal El Saadawi, they weave themselves into a collective identity called Donja Hota.
As Donja Hota they reflect upon a life of dissidence:
jumping on the possibility of stubborn idealism,
preparing to fight for the cause of pleasure,
amplifying the root system,
examining the surreality of the tools we are given,
pulling strands of freedom from their body archive,
tearing at society’s foundational illusions,
generating an unfolding territory.
