Gender and identity

Art projects from a personal journey in search of exploration of a stolen gender and identity.

A life after youth care: is that possible?
What is left if your gender and identity have been deprived of you in youth care with a lot of and long-term violence? *

My story is not a well-known trajectory, in fact it is an example of inequality in our country. It is not about transition, but about restoring what has been deliberately destroyed: a search for a gender that was never allowed to exist, for the self that could not exist anywhere. This is the way back to the boy I could and should have been—unblemished, casual, free.
