Borrowing both their voice, energy, body postures, and life goals. Leaving us burnt out, unsatisfied, and still nowhere close to feeling and knowing our place in this world and beyond. In Lady Balls, Mina Irfan activates that long forgotten feminine knowing of both our innate savageness and divinity. Interweaved in both her art of storytelling and her sacred body of work.
