Diccions en contra: espirals de sentit sexual

This exhibition stages a series of layers that coexist as part of a rare cartography, as if it were the map of a snail. The works in this exhibition address the sexuality that exists in the earth and in the waters; the sexuality that is cruised in the forest; the one that ties desire to violence; or the one that turns chosen submission into a tool of political redirection. This small exhibition explores how the imaginaries of dissident communities recompose themselves and challenge a world subjected to stripping. Through dream, costume, or the violence of intimacy, the works present us with scenarios of worlds that do not end. As Ailton Krenak reminds us, the myth of a world yet to end was invented to deactivate and discourage the imaginative capacity of the communities that sustain the existence of other worlds. An "ull d'aigua" in the forest stages the pewma (dream) of Gabriela Llankinao, from which Wüfko by Neyén Pailamilla weaves relations between body and territory as a way of recovering the sexual memory that colonization seeks to interrupt. M0nster.L4b is the creative and affective encounter between Lu Chieregati and Norma Pérez, where the words of Susy Shock reverberate as she claims her right to be a monster and to the fact that others be the norm. M0nster.L4b, in a masked ball, becomes a drag of the forest. The artist Bruna Kury works with her body and objects as if they were an archive. The pieces she presents operate as gestures of "critical fabulation", indications of the affective life of those bodies that were excluded from official archives. These objects carry inscriptions from different times and are dissident practices of hacking or pleasure. The documentary video by Liad Kantorowicz records the complexity of systems of domination. Through a political BDSM service, it problematizes the foundations of democracy and its relationship with colonial states. In this way, sexuality makes its political condition explicit and reorganizes systemic violences. These pieces are part of the production of sexual dissidences that do not fit the taxonomies imposed by modernity. They are, instead, bodies that are made with the territory, so that they disorder colonial imagination, pronounce time in another way, and create spaces for an afterwards that has already arrived. The exhibition features the projects of: Bruna Kury, anarchist-transfeminist who investigates gender, class, race and structural oppressions. Liad Kantorowicz, Jewish and queer artist and musician from Palestine focused on resistance to colonialism and Zionism. M0nster.l4b: Norma Pérez and Lu Chieregati, a research project that intertwines visual arts, choreography, performance and drag. Neyén Pailamilla, transdisciplinary Mapuche artist. Led by: Lucía Egaña Rojas, artist, curator, writer and researcher. This activity is part of the new programming cycle of the Barcelona LGBTI Centre "Contra-diccions. Desordres de la imaginació", which will run until 30 January 2027.
