*Wordmord* is a collective artistic research which started as part of the seminar *Feminist Practices in the Public Space at the Era of Globalised Technologies*, organized by the **Centre of New Media and Feminist Practices in the Public Space** at the Department of Architecture, University of Volos (GR) in 2019. The project´s starting point are two instances of public violence, misogyny, and homophobia that occurred in Greece in 2018: the brutal murder of the queer activist Zak/Zackie Oh in Athens and the femicide of Eleni Topaludi in Rhodes. *WordMord* means that words can kill. *WordMord* poses questions on the relationship between language, technology, trauma and violence. How is violence represented through (online) narratives? How can we assemble, archive and thus deconstruct heteronormative, derogatory, sexist, homophobic and transphobic narratives? *WordMord* believes that the violence of language is not eradicated by merely erasing words, but rather by transversing their violent imposition through specific practices, that trouble and disrupt grammatical consistency, semantic norms, 'correct' pronunciation. The rupture of linguistic limits suggests the possibility of experiencing language in its materiality. *Wordmord* is a collective artistic research which started as part of the seminar *Feminist Practices in the Public Space at the Era of Globalised Technologies*, organized by the **Centre of New Media and Feminist Practices in the Public Space** at the Department of Architecture, University of Volos (GR) in 2019.
