Het project en de tentoonstelling \u2018Sensitive obscurities: exploreing the queer (sub)bewustzijn\u2019 komt voort uit een diep verlangen om verbinding te maken met de innerlijke strijd, en uiteindelijk de vreugde, van het queer lichaam. Door de innerlijke werken van de ervaringen van vijf leden van het grote spectrum, dat wil zeggen de queergemeenschap in Rotterdam, te onderzoeken, sluit het werk aan bij gevoelens van woede, eenzaamheid en verlatenheid. De realiteit van het leven in een vreemd lichaam dat anders is, en dat vaak op een heilig voetstuk wordt geplaatst of als een duivelse vergissing wordt gezien. Door niet weg te lopen voor de onderliggende verwerping van deze gevoelens, is beeldend kunstenaar Rik Versteeg begonnen aan een reis om een \u200b\u200bverhalende tentoonstelling te cre\u00ebren, waarbij hij deze zeer menselijke reizen consensueel onderzoekt door een vreemde en postfeministische lens.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

By applying values of radical intersectionality and with a strong focus on care, Licka Lolly, Roberto Angels, Lillith de Ville, Xiang Ye Yueng, Joana Cavaco and Fae, have been working directly with Rik to complete this visual journey, while also focusing on aftercare and support towards the participants, as vulnerability becomes an almost outspoken dance between the artist\u2019s lens and the humans in front of it. By using a multidisciplinary approach that combines photography, fashion, film, and sound, we attempt a journey through honesty into the deep resonances of the vulnerable, by harnessing and reclaiming the forbidden.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
