Performing Society: The Violence of Gender

The group show “The Violence of Gender” features works that contest the symbolic castration of women and reclaim the abilities fundamentally denied them, dissolving the framing of adolescents and overturn the rules controlling voice, gesture, deportment, and desire. They develop a counter-narrative to the institution of the family as the foundation of the heteronormative society in the process and show how mother’s milk serves to delineate a territory in a realm between sexuality and reproduction.
