Queer kawaii: Gender and the Play of Line
5 Juni 2021, 6–7 p.m.
In our society, standards of beauty cause us to feel, consciously or unconsciously, exposed to the constant pressure of having to optimize ourselves. Cristiana Cott Negoescu will devote a one-hour performance to this topic. She will recite a poem that she composed which deals with self-criticism and the inability to conform to ideals of beauty, while “optimizing” her body in an excessive performative gesture.
Prior registration is required for all events:
