In today’s episode, we dive into the deeply transformative work of DanaidX—a collaborative force comprised of Hope Brooks and Angela Yarian. Fresh off their participation in FOTO(grafia) 2025 and their Artsy.net solo exhibition Goddess, Myths, and Monsters, we explore how this duo crafts a visual dialogue on womanhood, vulnerability, and resilience.
Through the evocative medium of cyanotype, Brooks and Yarian blur the lines between personal grief and universal myth, using their art to dismantle archetypes and reframe cultural expectations. Their works, such as Matron and Placenta #1, challenge perceptions of strength and interdependence while reclaiming the narratives surrounding cis and trans women.
Join us as we unpack their artistic philosophy, process, and the power of care in creation. DanaidX reimagines ancient myths and modern struggles, offering a blueprint for finding beauty in imperfection and strength in limitation.
