GenderFail: An Anthology On Failure

GenderFail

by Be Oakley (Editor), Manuel Arturo Abreu, American Artist

GenderFail: An Anthology On Failure is the first in a series of publications that look into various concepts of failure from the perspectives of artists, activists, writers, and curators. The failures discussed in this publication come from various different places - from personal, political, institutional, and collective sources. Each participant was invited to contribute a work surrounding failure - especially as it pertains to their own experiences - to expand upon topics of ableism, mental health, passing, whiteness, colonization, police brutality and other illustrations of failure put onto us by dominant culture. This resulting collection might fail to articulate a cohesive interpretation of something as complex as failure, but will hopefully incite
a collective consciousness that is as messy as
it is thought provoking.

A great collection of essays that traversed different areas. thought provoking & interesting.

Some parts were not very accessible to a regular smegular queer like myself. Because I am not an academic there were a lot of jargon words and concepts I did not have experience with and will have to research and go back to later.

A decent intro to genderfucking but ultimately lacking in saying anything new or interesting.
