Caterpillar Girl Diaries 

Linda Nurk presents an exhibition performance where textile, transformation, and ritual rave collide. As her silkworms hum beneath layers of raw silk, the Mad Silkworm Lady (Nurk’s alter-ego) begins her metamorphosis into Caterpillar Girl. In a world that tames both moth and woman, she reclaims the larval stage – where skin was velvet, days were long, and dreaming was a survival act.  

The performance unfolds with projections, silkworm soundscapes, and a textile installation that invites visitors into a tribal session of entanglement and emergence. By night: ritual in rhythm. By day: a cocooned sanctuary woven for stillness, pause, and pollination.
