It is a very heterogeneous group of artists with a common backdrop: the queer perspective in art.

At the opening we will have the performance Shivari by Dave Laciter.< /strong> Also with the performance Queer Bodies Live by Martin Lewton.

Parallel cultural activities

We will have several parallel cultural and dissemination activities, such as the vermouth theater with the monologue in the key of humor “I’m what you’re looking for“ by the writer and playwright Laura Freijó, and the vermouth colloquium from “We are the forbidden podcast“ by Jaime Lovillo..

The objective of the exhibition and the parallel activities that make up the “Queer Bodies / Diverse Minds” is to claim a different vision of social reality, unrelated to cultural canons and, in addition, fight against inequalities in terms of sexual orientation and gender identity that the heteropatriarchy has established since time immemorial. With the passing of time, the heteronormative system has given a certain place to these manifestations, relegating them to the private scene, which queer theories deny, highlighting the following maxim, contained in the Queer Manifesto of 1990: “Being queer is not about the right to privacy, but about the freedom to be public, to show oneself exactly as one is”.

The queer theory is based on the rejection of the classification of individuals in universal and fixed categories, such as “man / woman”, “heterosexual / homosexual / bisexual / transsexual”. The queer perspective considers that these restrictions are a construction created by a culture in which heterosexuality is an obligation, as well as heteronormativity and heteropatriarchy. These categories would be fictitious and would hide a huge number of political motivations supported by sexology, a science that has not been fully theorized.

This exhibition and its parallel events have the collaboration of the Grup de Balls Populars from Sitges and the Casino Prado Suburense.
