A workshop on Alter Ego’s
Artists: Ina Darakchieva, Philippine Hoegen, Sohrab Kashani and Nika van Woenzel
An alter ego is another version of you—someone you sometimes want to be. This version might look, talk, and act differently, but it’s still you! It’s like trying on a new character to see the world in a new way.
Many artists, like Beyoncé and the writer Elena Ferrante, use, or are, alter egos. Ina Darakchieva, Philippine Hoegen, Sohrab Kashani and Nika van Woenzel are four performance artists who explore this idea in different ways: as social commentary, creative expression, coping strategies, art therapy, research, or political refuge. We’ve had amazing experiences with our alter egos and find that they help us understand things better.
In the upcoming evening event, we’re excited to share this technique with anyone interested—no art experience is necessary! A safe and welcoming space is created, where you will be guided through finding and practicing your own alter ego.
