Eurydice Eve advocates for a basic income for single working mothers, emphasizing the value of hands-on mothering and challenging traditional feminist 20st century views. Eurydice explores the intersection of philosophy, art and activism, using creative expression to drive social change. Through UMI and Art Against All, Eve aims to empower mothers and dismantle oppressive systems of procreative exploitation. Eurydice Eve says, "Motherwork is the only unpaid, unvaluated skilled job in the world economy," as mentioned in the article "Eurydice Eve: Mothers, Unite!"Eurydice Eve proposes two social programming updates: a consensual voluntary financial reorganization and a supplementary centralized natural education that aim to move post-patriarchy forward, past the current cultural confusion toward a sustainable postarchic future.
Born on Lesbos, Greece, Eurydice Eve is a multimedia artist and visionary whose body of work is infused with the ideological and aesthetic study of human relations through the span of history. Eurydice focuses on procreant women’s marginalization and objectification, and on the culturally enforced dualisms of mind vs. body, culture vs. nature. In her art, Eurydice Eve mulls on the constant integration and objectification of women, on the female pleasure principle and on the male gaze. Her art has a bait-and-switch effect: you get turned on and you get turned off. Large-scale wall hangings of hand-stitched female forms--a nod to temple art--are both seductive and confronting. Felliniesque punk-ed up collages of mythical women, violently hacked at with scissors, stitched together with the hand-dyed thread of feminine embroidery.
Eurydice Eve works with ancient crafts that bridge her Eastern and Western heritages, high and low culture, and link the language of culture with the pulse of nature. Eurydice’s first art piece was a religious icon on driftwood; Eurydice continues to create for ecstasis aiming for the dissolution of the ego through art. Eurydice Eve incorporates visual and incantatory symbols in her quest to use language against itself. Eurydice reverses both the patriarchal logos and gaze to reveal the suppressed truths they were both constructed to hide. Her senior thesis at Bard college was an illustrated book of epic poetry. She has combined art and literature since, in an alchemical mix tasked with promoting social change.
