Synopsis

Enantiodromia, explores the journey of women* navigating shame in pursuit of something felt deep within our bones, of something once known, but somehow lost in the current moment. It not only seeks to demonstrate the emotional and psychological labor of shedding the layers that have been put upon us, but also highlights the effort required to work through these opposing qualities so that we may begin to liberate ourselves from our socially imposed domestication.

*The word women includes anyone and everyone who identifies as such

Director Statement

Kristi believes that art is a social platform to examine the world. By posing critical questions to the obstacles we face as a society, her work seeks to resonate with audiences and spark meaningful conversations surrounding complicated issues. Captivating, moving and powerful, Cole’s work demands the attention of the audience, sucking them into her world and spitting them out into their own. Experimentation fosters artistic research and facilitates the creation of an abstract world for the work to exist within. Viewers are given agency to attach their own experiences to the ones embodied before them, further highlighting our common connection through our shared experience of being human.
