🐍Happy New Year💫
🐍謹賀新年⚡️
🐍Frohes neues Jahr✨
昨年もたくさんの方々にお世話になり、刺激もいっぱいの一年でした🔮 本年もどうぞよろしくお願いしたします🌿🩵
展覧会「いつでもルナティック、あるいは狂気の家族廃絶」(新年は1月7日からです🍊)に引き続き、みんなで試行錯誤するような言説や実践を作っていきたいと思っています🐍
とくに「家族廃絶」は、「わたし」や「あなた」の家族ではなく、植民地主義や帝国主義の観点から異性愛中心主義が強調された近代社会と、そこから地続きである現代的な資本主義や新自由主義で覆い隠される構造や抑圧への批判と廃絶のための言葉と実践です🌕いつだって「家族」はあらゆる労働や暴力の理由にされてきました。いろんや矛盾や葛藤も含みながらも、現状の数々の暴力に「NO」を言って拒絶をすること、そして異なる社会や生き方の方法を模索し、夢見続けること🔮🐍🌿
今年も一緒に闘いましょう🍊💫🩵🍉
Last year, we received so much support from so many people— colleagues, friends, collaborators, fellow artists, activists, scholars— full of inspiration and new challenges 🔮 Thank you 🌿🩵
Building on the exhibition “Always Lunatic—Family Abolition (the gallery starts to open this year on January 7th 🍊), we hope to continue creating spaces for discourse and practices shaped by collective try and error 🐍
In particular, the theme of “Abolition Family” is not about rejecting “your” family or ours. Rather, it critiques and seeks to dismantle the structures and forms of oppression rooted in the modern systems of heteronormativity—systems that were reinforced by colonialism and imperialism—and the ways these systems persist today through contemporary capitalism and neoliberalism 🌕
The concept of “family” has long been used to justify labor and violence in countless forms. While acknowledging the contradictions and struggles inherent in this process, we strive to say “NO” to the violence embedded in the current system, to resist it, and to dream of and explore alternative ways of living and building society 🔮🐍🌿
Let’s continue to fight together this year! 🍊💫🩵
No one is free until everyone is free 🍉
