Diccions en contra: espirals de sentit sexual

Exhibition at the Centre LGTBI de Barcelona bringing together works by several authors on sexuality, body, territory and memory, drawn from the imaginaries of dissident communities.

This small exhibition at the Centre LGTBI de Barcelona is presented as a layered cartography, comparable to a snail's map, and brings together works by different authors. They address sexuality linked to earth and water, to the forest, to desire entwined with violence, and to submission chosen as a political tool. Its axis is the imaginaries of dissident communities that regroup in the face of a subjugated world, through dream, costume and the violence of intimacy.

One of the pieces takes as its starting point an « ojo de agua » (a water spring) in the forest and the pewma, or dream, of Gabriela Llankinao; from there, Wüfko by Neyén Pailamilla weaves relationships between body and territory in order to recover a sexual memory that colonisation seeks to interrupt. M0nster. L4b, a creative encounter between Lu Chieregati and Norma Pérez, revisits the words of Susy Shock on the right to be a monster and is presented as a masked ball, a drag of the forest.

Bruna Kury works with her body and with objects treated as an archive; her pieces function as gestures of « critical fabulation » and include inscriptions from different eras. Liad Kantorowicz's video documentary, for its part, follows a political BDSM service to question the foundations of democracy and its relationship with colonial states.
