To the Aching Parts! (Manifest), 2020

video essay, 14m49s

To the Aching Parts! (Manifest) by Polish artist Ania Nowak is a public speech that breaks down the language used by and against queer communities today. The text lacks grammar and is subject to the order and pleasure of rhythm. The video performance draws on historical references to the militancy of minorities in order to highlight the danger of normativity and the need for embodied intersectionality in forming queer alliances today. By daring to play with the language of resentment and trauma, as well as empathy and healing, it proposes destabilising identities, practices and well-known acronyms like LGB or FtM in the interest of a queer future that we cannot yet imagine.
