“A few cabins built along a hillside, on the margins of society and without men. A refuge, a space for collective and feminist transformation. From this edge of the world, alongside those who build it, I question my place in nature and in society, in my relationship, the freedom of my body, and the choice to have a child.” (Éva Tourrent)
