︎ Concept
Sick & Tired of SPORT spectacles? Here is GEGEN OLYMPICS
SPORT is reduced to a hyper-competitive arena for conforming identities around nationalisms, brand loyalty and consumer drives. Its norms and regulations assert pervasive globalizing strategies to maximize profit and visibility, while forming a matrix of excluded consumers and controlling exploiters. Its resilience to external control, criticism and accountability renders all those who question its norms – queer. But Queers can take all shapes, colors and sizes including the sport body, mentality and communities. Queers are rendering the invisible visible, while questioning the obvious and assuming nothing! As they sexualize our bodies for media consumption, gender our sports for norms they feel adequate, We queer them back in questioning and performing. Move your body at GEGEN OLYMPICS.
