Disposable Income - Mixed media solo performance


Disposable income is a solo performance work, which uses interdisciplinary interventions to explore the marketing and use of queer identities in the media. Media includes advertising, political representation, and queer people in film and animation. The research residency period gave rise to the following question which the work has explored. Does having queer identities misrepresented cause micro-trauma for a community that is then lived and experienced on a daily basis? Does the current media vocabulary surrounding queer identities take up a large portion of queer representation thereby incidentally mask deeper discrimination issues? In a wider view, how does all of this affect a wider societal understanding of tolerance towards identity expressions outside of a hetero-normative patriarchal system?

This work was developed while in Residency at Hellerau - Europäisches Zentrum der Künste, and was additionally presented at Kommuna Warsawa in Warsaw, for the Generation After festival 2024.
