An der Ausstellung nehmen ehemalige
und aktuelle StudentInnen der Angewandten teil.My Beautiful Monstrosity: Exercising My Creation
is an upcoming exhibition inspired by the poem “Yo, mounstruo mio” by the Argentine trans philosopher, artist and singer Susy
Shock. Curated by Gabi Moncayo-Asan, it combines fashion design, photography, sculptures and poetry to demonstrate the subversive
nature of queer auto-perception.
I claim my right to be a monster,
not
man
nor woman,
not XXY
nor H2O.
Who
am I? Who are we? We inadvertently ask these questions every day. Their answers lie in the ways we physically present ourselves
to the world. Auto-perception is where an individual’s communication with the world begins, creating with it a sense of belonging
to a community. Someone’s auto-perception of queer is subversive by nature, a break from society’s norms, from what’s expected
and accepted, breaking with the heteronormative binary narrative the patriarchy has imposed on us.
