🎶 NEW RELEASE: “Her Body” by 2026WOMEN 🎶
We are thrilled to announce the release of “Her Body”, a powerful and moving song written and composed by the 2026women collective under the musical direction of Céline di Maccio.
This track is a Madam Fortuna production, featuring lead vocals by Deborah Federico, and born from a shared vision of empowerment, creativity, and unity.
Here’s a glimpse of the lyrics that capture its essence:

I’m the musical instrument, of your resonance
In my mirror, I’m powerful, I’m magical
You try to restrain me
While my own femininity is the only way
I’m her naked body
And you don’t have a say
I don’t train for beauty, I don’t train for belly, all choices are mine
In my mirror, I’m powerful, I’m magical, (choices are mine!)
Sssss.. Let’s shush stereotypes
I blossom and I bloom even when I’m tiny,
I carry difficulties in my soul,
I don’t train for beauty or belly,
Do you see me as soft, fragile, and emotional?

💜In 26 & 27 March 2026, the 2026WOMEN Collective reunited once more for the opening of the historic edition of the 2026WOMEN Tribunal on Crimes Against Women. In this vibrant music-theatre performance, 36 women from Antwerp, Marseille, Barcelona, and Rotterdam, performed a piece inspired by courage and hope.

While their previous sold-out performance Simawe | See my Way confronted violence head‑on, ‘صوتي | Mijn Stem’ shifted the focus. Participants embraced the power of standing, dancing and singing together, refusing silence and celebrating joy as a form of resistance. The result was a multilingual, multidisciplinary piece that moves fluidly between poetic, explosive and deeply intimate moments.

Behind the Scenes ‘صوتي | Mijn Stem’

The participants of 2026women, hailing from Antwerp, Barcelona, Marseille, and Rotterdam, spent four days in an artistic residency in Dworp before traveling to Antwerp, at the Arenberg Theater, to perform their show صوتي - Mijn Stem.
Their journeys from their respective cities, as well as their travel and stay in Belgium, were made possible thanks to the support of Keolis Belgium.
The women also warmly thank Jodie, their driver, for her professional efficiency and kindness throughout their trip.

The Tribunal was opened by 2026WOMEN’s performance ‘صوتي | Mijn Stem’, followed by panel discussions, film screenings, exhibitions, workshops and creative experiences centred on art, gender and empowerment. On 28 March, discussion tables provided a space for participants to share and reflect on grassroots solutions to violence in various contexts and scales. A public procession and artistic intervention brought this historic event to the attention of the public at Theaterplein. The event concluded at Arenberg with ARTivist performances and music celebrating the power of sisterhood!💜✨

Participants co-created a piece rooted in shared experience based on scenes scripted by Alix Konadu, choreographies from Katja Pire and songs composed by Céline di Maccio. Voices from the groundbreaking 1976 Tribunal echo through the performance, meeting the voices of 2026 to reveal the struggles that remain and contemporary forms of violence.💜
