QueeЯevolutions

“ A Revolution is not a one time event “
• QueeЯevolutions • is an investigation into the often- misinterpreted q***r identitie(s) of LGBTQIA+ individuals from SWANA ( South-West Asia and North Africa ). The project proposes Q***rness as a colonizing concept, shaped by its mainstream, so-called "universal" vision and forced onto individuals from non-Western or mixed backgrounds. When do we get a chance to investigate and express our q***rness in our own way? How can we develop a language to speak about our complex identities? Why do we identity with a supposed Pride that we haven't achieved ourselves? These and other questions are raised by the participating artists, who each seek in different ways within their practices to revolt against the normalizing process of a one-dimensional "q***rness," seeking ways to express, explore, and share unheard voices and unknown histories, and who come together in struggle. The project took place as a series of collective workshops "for us by us," with a wide range of critical and creative practices around the artists' identities presented in their own terms. Able to represent themselves outside the white gaze, the artists approached the experimental space of the project as a laboratory for sharing and reflecting on their experiences and ideas and as an occasion to develop collaborations with other QBIPOC individuals.
