“Virago”, an installation that reclaims the original meaning of the Latin term, associated with courage, virtue, and feminine excellence, in contrast to the pejorative connotations it has acquired over time. The piece addresses how sexism and homophobia have distorted language, transforming a word that once designated heroines into an insult. Through photography, video art, and installation, the work brings this reflection into the public sphere, reclaiming the figure of the virago as a symbol of courage and resilience. Its aim is to stimulate critical thinking and dignify these historically marginalized identities.
