What is Genderotica?

GendErotica – Contaminations of Queer Art is a project that began in 2009 and occurs biannually. This will be its third iteration. Its settings and artistic selections have distinguished it as a proper festival, even if in limited form. Taking place over three days, GendErotica presents shows, performance art, exhibits of photography, paintings and installations, screenings of shorts and documentaries, and workshops.

GendErotica aims to bring to light various representations of gender from a queer perspective in such a way as to redesign a map of the deconstruction of genders from social, political, cultural and erotic points of view. All this with an eye towards what is happening around gender in the rest of the world.

The initial inspiration was born of the desire to construct an event in which art could tell stories of queerness – through the senses, the queer body, and with joy and passion – resisting claustrophobic and exhausting normative representations. A queer body invigorated by the joy of transformation and liberation!
