Aiğanym Mūkhamejan’s "What's in my bag?" video is a parody of the popular blogger format of the same name. In those vlogs celebrities show the contents of their bags, often telling the story or meaning of each item. In this work, the artist’s bag is filled with various stabbing and cutting tools, presented as everyday necessities. It is a reflection on the disturbing reality that vigilance and self-defense training have become part of the daily routine for many women, highlighting the urgent need for societal change to address the acute problem of violence.
