SHAPESHIFTERS: Bodies Like Water
Shapeshifters: Bodies Like Water honors the deep connections between the body, land, and queer wisdom. The strength of these connections manifests as the courage to separate from predetermined ideals of gender, to surrender and embark on a sacred journey of self-realization. Shapeshifters: Bodies Like Water is a celebration of this journey. Why do we focus on gender as the playground for liberation? To play with gender is to play with power, to actively shift the violent dynamics of colonization, white supremacy, and other systems of oppression that rely on seemingly unchangeable gender norms. Photographer and body artist Jenny Zander worked with seven artists to depict their connections with self, land, and imagination. These photographs are accompanied by words generously offered by each artist in both poetry and prose. |
