I have been deconstructing and queering the dominant cultural paradigm for more than 20 years, writing mainly about Art and Culture and having my articles published across a range of mainstream and alternative media, both straight and gay in a variety of languages.
I have recently realised that it would be interesting to try finding them somehow and put them together in an attempt to show that everything happening today has been present as a baby grain in the past, generations could be ignorant about what preceded them but they still stand on the shoulders of their predecessors, we are all together in this evolution of feeling about what is possible in art, culture, society and life.
We need strong alternative histories to create a new power balance queering identity representation and all the aesthetic and moral codes that go with it, to share a more solid "us" against the dominant and loud "them" that tries to erase our lives and our stories.
Queering art and culture, here comes one of the most talented pioneers, Risk Hazekamp.
I am putting the link to the published article and I shall try to find the article itself and put it up with some old and new photos by beautiful Risk.
