“Physicality is a key to liberation,” explains the museum’s organisation. “It is the starting point not only for a search of new forms of expression but also for breaking free.” With the aim to represent a broad spectrum, the six selected pieces are formally, geographically and thematically. For example, in
Playback, by
Agustina Comedi, we see the drag and trans community of the 1980s in Cordoba, Argentina; in
Va-Bene, Ghanian performer Brenda Jorde makes a self-portrait. And in
Galatée à l’Infini, the artists talk about the subjugation of the female body. Self-determination and appropriation are celebrated in Batería, by Damian Sainz, while
Pirate Boys, by Pol Merchan, and
Journey to the CharBagh, by Abdullah Qureshi, are poetic reflections on queerness.
