Untitled Vagina #5<\/h5>\nso happy to have been able to exhibit my latest sculpture, especially in these times. Untitled Vagina #5 \u00a02025, Razor wire, barbed wire, rebar, tensioners, anti climb fence, metal, wood. 3m x2.4m x 0.6m\n\nVideo link https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fi\/3myexr8i5je6ymk5rujls\/untitled-vagina-5-1080.mp4?rlkey=71cgboq46mfaw9b4owqoed5kl&st=ai9ss5is&dl=0<\/a>\n\nThe people that are most affected by borders and prisons are women, particularly women of color, LGBT women of color; trans women of color are the ones that bear the highest burden and pay the highest cost for borders, for prisons. And yet the people that get to speak about our bodies are the most privileged. There is an inversion occurring in the conversation where the most privileged get to talk and explain to most marginalized, but it needs to be the other way around. Lived experience in the margins teaches you what a PhD will never do. The lived experience that is learned in the margins is what we need for the whole of society. And this is really the important point: All society will benefit from those most marginalized\u2019s perspective on society as a whole and yet women\u2019s art is a subcategory of art and allowed only to deal with \u201dwomen\u2019s issues\u201d. And jails, and borders are not considered \u201dwomen\u2019s issues\u201d.\u201dQueer art can only deal with queerness\u201d. \u201dTrans art can only deal with transness\u201d. And it\u2019s the other fucking way. Instead of continuing to eroticize us and \u2026 okay, you can\u2019t do exotic travel photography so you force minorities to perform it for you. It\u2019s the other way around. We need minorities to speak about the majority, to talk about the center and this is what I\u2019m trying to do with this artwork. As a woman, as a Jewish woman from a migrant background I know personally that borders are very difficult. The more marginalized, the more experiences you have, the more borders are tough, the more chances are for you to be in jail. We all know the statistics. So it\u2019s enough to let the most privileged talk about it and in the exclusive halls of academia and media. But it\u2019s time for those of us at street level to have our say. And this is all really inspired by the women\u2019s art shows where women started doing depictions of naked women and vaginas and that was the women\u2019s shows. This is the conversation I want to have. Which is, this is a feminist issue: borders and jails are a feminist issue. The People that are unseen, the bodies that are considered unsightly, the human beings that where not meant to survive are at the beating heart of what fuels this work. And there is nothing like those that experience interconnecting forms of oppression to be able to see what the majority in their privileged life will never be able to. That is why it\u2019s important to not just look forward, but also turn around and look back and see who you\u2019ve forgotten.\u00a0This time we cant afford to leave anyone behind.\n\nhttps:\/ \/neunkelche.de\/<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
