"She uses her voice - she sings, writes, makes space for others to express and to connect, beyond language and culture, around vulnerable topics - giving them both an intimate and collective approach. A shared, empowering, transformative experience."

Elisabeth Woronoff is a multidisciplinary artist and creative director working at the intersection of performing arts, visual arts, and music.
Her practice spans installation, fashion, performance, painting, sculpture, photography, directing, singing, writing, ink, and poetry. She is guided by an instinctive exploration of embodied memory, space, clothing, symbols, and language - words written and sung in public space, always across multiple languages.
Her in-situ installations and live works are rooted in documentary research, addressing societal issues such as incest, trauma, lesbianhood, feminist resistance, Brexit, artists during Covid, and the disappearance of artistic workspaces in cities. She is currently developing SAFE NOW, a platform raising awareness of paedo-sexual criminality.
Deeply engaged in artistic activism, Elisabeth creates works that give visibility to hidden violences, silenced narratives, and invisibilised female artists ; transforming personal and collective wounds into shared spaces of resilience and creation. Her work bridges feminist, community-driven, and site-specific practices.
ARTEOS is a non-profit organization, founded in 2018, focused on creating live installations that blend various art forms such as performance art, music, text, movement, sculpture, photography, painting, fashion, and documentary research. The association also promotes cultural exchanges through international collaborations and multilingual performances.
She co-founded ARTEOS as the artistic director. Her creations have been developed and co-produced with the Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles, Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Café Congo Tiers-Lieu Artistique, WORM Rotterdam, Théâtre Royal de l’Ancre (Charleroi), Théâtre Cinéma Paul Éluard – Scène Nationale Conventionnée (France), Les Midis de la Poésie, and CIFAS. She was selected for the Women in Art 2024 Biennial in Brussels and awarded both the Un Futur pour la Culture and CAPT FWB research grants. Her projects receive support from the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles – Service Général de la Création Artistique and the Cellule Cohésion Sociale de la Commune d’Anderlecht.
Elisabeth is represented as an author by SACD, and has worked as a cultural mediator for Les Midis de la Poésie. She has been invited to speak at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, the Université des Femmes, and the Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles.
