Two years ago today we published HYENA to honor the legacy of women’s surrealism. This title is SOLD OUT, but we are reprinting & will have copies available later this month. 

Edited by Cindy Rehm and Adrienne Walser, the publication includes works that look to the legacy of women’s surrealism, explorations of identity, inner-life, corporeality, ritual, eroticism, animality, and mortality. Inspired by Leonora Carrington, we took the hyena as our moniker for her feral and ravenous nature, her ability to provoke mix-ups in gender identity, and her proclivity for habitation in matriarchal clans.

part girl, part hag

Naming a way to be unruly, in-between, young and old, wide-eyed and wise, ever becoming, late-blooming to infinity🥀♾️

Our new sticker is inspired by Lisa Robertson’s writing on hags and by all the beautiful shapeshifters who shimmer in the magic of aging.

HEXENTEXTE is 5!!
We appreciate all the amazing artists and writers who have been our collaboraters over the years!! Thank you to all who have supported our work by attending events & workshops and buying our books! 

HEXENTEXTE is a DIY, labor of love founded by @cindyrehm in 2021. We operate with a self-sustaining model to produce small editions, with the hope of selling enough books to cover printing costs. It’s a lot of work, but we are here to tell you that it is possible to bring your own books into the world!

Natacha Voliakovsky’s En la Mira (Target) (2024) will screen on Thursday 9/10 @poeticresearch @2220arts on as part of the launch event for our new series of hexlets. RSVP link in bio @natachavoliakovsky 

Natacha Voliakovsky (Buenos Aires, 1988; they/she) is a Buenos Aires- and New York-based artist whose practice navigates survival through the body, a site marked by violence, control, and desire. Working between collective actions, durational performances involving surgical interventions, and drawing, video, and sculpture, she engages Sudaca feminism, decolonial aesthetics, and radical autonomy through endurance and scarification, imagining the body as a battlefield scarred by trauma and the state.

Her work has been presented at the Bogotá Biennial (2025), the Latin American Art Triennial (New York), and the DeformesTriennial (Chile). She was selected for the 112° Salón Nacional de Artes Visuales (2025) and has received the SU-CASA grant annually since 2023.

In 2018, she founded Argentina Performance Art, a platform for the research and archive of performance in Argentina and its diaspora. She holds degrees in Design and Visual Arts, and completed EmergeNYC at NYU’s Hemispheric Institute.

Maxima Smith’s videos There You Are (2016) and Untitled (2017) will screen @poeticresearch @2220arts on Thursday 9/10 as part of the launch of our new series of hexlets. RSVP in bio ~
@maximasmith 

Maxima Smith is an artist based in London who works across moving image, installation, photography and performance. She uses reenactment to explore feminine archetypes, family relationships and how identity is constructed, performed and disrupted. Her works are often exhibited as multiple looping projections shown in installation. 
Her practice approaches performance as a way of learning through (re)doing. Often casting family members and herself, she uses staged scenarios and repeated actions that explore how behaviour shifts when mediated by the camera. Her work has also been shown internationally including LADA (UK), the Nunnery Gallery (UK), De Sloot (NL), De Appel (NL), Theatre Bellevue (NL), Galerie Amu (CZ), Centrale Fies (IT), Magazzino Gallery (IT), and Oranssi (FI). Smith holds a BA from the Slade School of Fine Art (2016) and an MA in Art Praxis from the Dutch Art Institute (2023).
