Queer, Femminista, Punk! (Queer, Feminist, Punk!)
This is a little filmic essay on the links between punk, anarchism, feminism and radical queer politics that the Art Bureau has created for a public debate. The projection was preceded by a discussion on feminism and queer politics. The results of all this are, of course, uncertain.
The whole thing being in Italian, we are translating the blurb that accompanies the video:
'A message from the Eukariot Art Bureau: "This film is not a definitive theory or an objective, authoritative and comprehensive history. You will not find the fountain of truth in here, even if we are not telling any lies. This is an essay (trial), not adverse to condensation and displacement. Its purpose is to stimulate a more complex critical understanding of bourgeois reality and encourage experimenting with radically changing it. Like any honest propaganda, it does not aim to provide infallible and universal solutions but rather to arouse curiosity and desire. Unfortunately, it is also a Eurocentric and sparkling white essay in its approach; we cannot ignore its colonial undertones and implications and our omissions will come back to haunt us. Might we clean our name a bit by arguing that it is a tactical exercise in the psycho-anthropology of European subjects? Enjoy!"
