Jeu Jeu la Foille's Testy Manifesto

Enchantress weaves words of inner resilience, recovery and revolution in a striking visual anthology

Strange, poetic and acerbically silly, Jeu Jeu la Foille's Testy Manifesto combines linguistic acrobatics with evocative images to delve deep into the mechanisms of intimate partner violence.
'To be a true infiltrator into patriarchy, one must find costumes, disguises and secret doors, with which to enter enemy territory, in order to dismantle it.'
Susan L. Abert on Leonora Carrington
