In Chiara No’s current work, Crowning, No embodies and undermines the variability of imagery and language. Using ideological motifs within the lexicon of Black, Death and Grind Metal, No employs heavy handed, dark, and straightforward iconography as parody. No’s Crowning does not necessarily seek to only criticize this hyper-masculine homogenous culture but to provoke women to be active participants and be represented because they are Metal as Fuck.
Crowning is the third and final installment of 3AM Maternal, curated by Lise Haller Baggeson
