Bodies are agents and products of history. Bodies are history made flesh, but they are also primary tools for understanding the past, present and future. History is a choreographed sequence of gestures that makes bodies intelligible to each other. Every gesture is a link in a chain binding us to gender, race and social class. Gestures solidify into identities. They enact identities that become natural through the systematic repetition of identical gestures. And yet, a pose does more than that. Posing means becoming aware of how a body makes history. “To strike a pose is to pose a threat”, wrote Dick Hebdige referring to the meaning of style in youth subcultures. That’s why it’s important to trace the history of dissident gestures, to trace the genealogy of poses that are bold enough to confront the norm. This modality of performance may be described as radical because it opens up a space for imagining other possible bodies and futures. A radical performance invokes subjectivities for which no name yet exists and social choreographies that are still to come.

In Klara Kayser's water-proof pocket book of poetry, Hygiene, the Düsseldorf-based artist nibbles at the surfaces of our bodies, desires, and ideas and through words constitutes what washes off and what sticks. Kayser's interest in the human body is a theology of slapstick, translating form into a poetic language that hums the dramatic rhythm of a pick-me-up-and-drop-me-low pop song.

Barbara Jean Hammer (1939-2019) gilt als Pionierin des queeren und feministischen Kinos und war eine der ersten Filmemacherinnen, die sich ausdrücklich dafür einsetzte, lesbische Realitäten sichtbar zu machen. In experimentellen sowie dokumentarischen Filmen, Fotografien, Zeichnungen, Collagen und Performances beschäftigte sich die Künstlerin mit der Auflösung der vorherrschenden Geschlechterrollen, der lesbischen Identität und der Sexualität. Hammers Arbeit beleuchtete Tabuthemen wie Altern, Krankheit und Tod.

Started as a xerox zine, a saturated compilation of drawings done by amateurs, musicians or comics authors, Nazi Knife explored, in its more recent issues, some more singular editorial approaches: the publication seen as a library, as a collection of motley elements, where raw materials, symbolic references or cultural products could be combined, or as the visual repetition of few fetishistic obsessions, modulated by an architecture of filters, quite opaque to say the least.

The magazine is created by and for queer nerds who feel outside the mainstreaming of queer culture. It covers the ordinary lives and interests of queers, because the ordinary is often quite interesting.

Window is Alexis's first full length novel in the form of a truelife vignetted memoire. Written from a swivel chair in Crown Heights, the stories meander through Alexis's surreal memories of growing up gay in Kansas, grasping for substance in fleeting hookups, gaining possessive rein on his powers of seduction (often via texting), and abusing them in San Francisco. Accompanied by photos from his voluminous archive, these stories are a full, and blurry, portrait of searching for "true love" in a multitude of disposable romances.
