THE SPRAWLS: AN ARTISTIC APPROACH TO THE BORDERS OF GENDER AND GENDERED BORDERS • LORENA JUAN

Gender can create a sensory experience of tangible and virtual borders, as well as conscious and unconscious ones. These spatial and cultural frontiers are essential points of reference for our own identities. Our limited, and simultaneously real and ephemeral bodies can be stimulated in order to provoke an evolution on (and a transgression of) oppressive social codes.

In the frame of The Sprawls, our work focused on queer strategies as political tools to rebel against gender constrictions and body policing. With an experimental and playful approach, we explored and reclaimed the concepts of gender, sex, and sexuality and establish new personal and social realities. We also addressed the gendered borders of institutionalized knowledge in order to analyze the constructs that can manipulate our understanding of power.

The festival took place at GlogauAir (Glogauer Str. 16, 10999
