A queer magazine which celebrates all sorts of gender. Identity is not a fixed category for us, but a common process. We try to "queer" as a critical approach to social norms and conventions. We wish to question and challenge, where it is needed.

Hugs and Kisses combines visual art, music, literature and film. And it searches for glamor and movement in gender-related realities. It presents portraits and works by draftsmen, photographers, musicians, activists and theorists - B / W and color.

Migrantas | a visual language of migration

Location

Germany

Migrantas has been working on projects related to migration, identity and dialogue between different cultures. Their projects combine tools from the social sciences, graphic design and the visual arts to create a reflection of the migrant condition. Mobility, migration and transculturality are not exceptional any longer. On the contrary, they are becoming a very central phenomenon of our times. The thoughts and emotions of the immigrants though remain invisible to the greater part of society. Through their projects Migrantas aims to offer a means of making visible in the urban space the feelings and reflections of those who are now living in a new country. The members of Migrantas have themselves emigrated from Buenos Aires to Berlin. They conceive of their work with other migrants as a horizontal dialogue.

fiber. werkstoff für feminismus und popkultur (magazine)

Location

Vienna
Austria
48° 12' 33.1416" N, 16° 22' 22.0008" E

fiber. werkstoff für feminismus und popkultur versteht sich als (Medien-) Projekt, das in seinem Selbstverständnis Frauen als Akteur_innen wahrnimmt und ihnen bewusst Präsenz verleiht. Wenn wir uns dabei auf den Begriff der geschlechtlichen Identität – in dem Falle „Frau“ – beziehen, ist uns klar, dass dieser Begriff von Ambivalenzen, Unschärfen, Widersprüchen und Uneindeutigkeiten durchzogen ist, wobei diese Unschärfen in unterschiedlichsten Formen sexueller bzw. geschlechtlicher Identität zum Ausdruck gebracht werden (können).
