Paralirima

Live poetry performance by Roz In a delirious stream of thought, Roz explores ‘freedom’ as something shaped by the entangled urgencies of crip and queer life. Expanding beyond its prescribed limits, the body becomes both a structure and an archive, expressed through an environment composed of a wearable room, notes, and research materials. Woven together with improvisational poetry, the performance and installation invites visitors to explore a living landscape where artistic research, exhibition, and self become inseparable, revealing a quiet, decolonial space for reflection. Roz (Panayiota Zintili) is a performance artist and poet based in Nicosia. With a background in social anthropology she writes and performs exploring intersections of feminism, decolonial theory, crip theory, queer theory and politics of trauma,memory and testimony. She is a creative member of inclusive collective Koullou Makka. She took part in performances and festivals in Cyprus and abroad. If she had to describe her work through a book title, that would be "feminist, queer, crip". Her work combines the personal experiences and political vision of change and social justice.
