TRANSFORMATIONS — QUEERDOS

do you remember when we were two mm away,

fueling each others’ rage against the capital-ism

raised voice to raised fist, rioting again ?

another day, another monster

(Amazon take my dreams

Amazon pay my bills)

the gentrification of the mind

the watering down of revolutions

the muffling of rebel voices

Starts with her accepting she is too weary of fighting against a system that produces its triumph upon her defeat; instead, she should sell out, stand down, be proud Hold on to the last gram of happiness make belief!

down with the socialism

down with the kindness

down with the human

up with the patriarchy

up with reversed psychology

Fuck the resistance!

from now on we are all immobilary agents

selling old dreams of free-er times!

Queerdos TRANSFORMATIONS

For one day only the disused gas station on Sonnenallee in Berlin is transformed. It’s one of countless spaces that have lost their role and purpose and cry out for repurposing.

Demolition, transference, takeover, transformation. How can a space be transformed? How can disused places find new life? Can our queer bodies rise up out of the debris and take flight?

Everything is made to measure. Buildings go up in a week. Everything feels fleeting and transient. Our queer bodies and spaces and nightlife are under constant threat. How safe do wereally feel here? How is gentrification affecting our own transformation?
