Our grandmothers sang stories and I am a storyteller, a laundress of my own clothes. In this washing process we can wash away the pain we carry from a collective that is suffering in its slumber. The empowerment of all the bodies that suffer violence on the clothesline. It is the life force of ancestral women, archetypes of resistance. It’s urgent to make art, it’s urgent to live. We want people to wash themselves.

ZAYA introduces new worlds and every trip is an emotion-soother. Coming from the interior of the Alentejo, her soul is rooted in the rhythms and stories of the region. This connection is the fire of her artistic path, influencing her dedication to storytelling and healing processes through performance and shouting. An artist since 2022, her expression is multidisciplinary and based on collaboration and community connection.
