~*• Enter the boa

BLOOD OF AURORA /BOA/ is about expression. It exists to inspire and empower women to step into their most audacious, unique voice. We look to artists, of all disciplines, as leaders of expression. They create and embody new worlds, offering reference points that can move us in our own daily lives. BLOOD OF AURORA places this work in dialogue with the lived experience of women: the inner ground where we meet ourselves, our homes and our relationships. We are big on embracing what radical life experiences are serving up, highlighting sex, birth and death as the physical and metaphorical key milestones of our unique and at once collective transformational processes.

BOA had many names on IG since its beginning in 2014, early on evolving into a global platform. Today it continues through Substack where essays, conversations with women artists and writing exercises. We also hold writing sessions held on and offline, as well as art exhibitions.

No matter who you are, if you are a writer or not; writing is a tool for you to actively reflect and build a relationship with yourself at any stage of your life. Writing just a page a day can add to your day to days. It’s not about how well you can write or if you know the proper grammar — it’s about having the courage to express yourself. The stuff that swirls inside you every day has a place to be released that’s not your partner, your friend, the yoga instructor or your therapist. A lot of us are struggling these days feeling disconnected and lacking community… writing wont replace that, but it will offer you an anchor.

Dóri Varga is a Hungarian interdisciplinary artist, curator, guide and mother behind BOA. Through writing, photo, video and sound, she documents her ongoing process of becoming. Her curiosities center the body; in paying close attention to her own shifts, desires and contradictions, continuously refining the clearest way to express them. At the core of Dóri‘s work is a commitment to honesty, erotic presence and the freedom that comes from saying exactly what is true.
