Zinneke is a performative lecture.
Zinneke means bastard in the language of the people of Brussels. For this lecture it means a bastard way of talking about History to talk about Herstory.
In this lecture I do perform being a mother, being my mother on stage.
Zinneke is also an archive of silent voices, of the voices that have
being removed from the main picture of History, and by putting my mum
on stage I am giving volume to her story, as a performative gesture or
as Isabel Stengers names it, creating Herstory.
For this gesture I do collect different lists of things.
A collection of images that construct the Somatopolitical regime of
the binary sistem of gender.
A collection of poems
Giving volume to this stories ends up as noise.
Noise as an accumulation of layers.
Noise as an accumulation of violence
Noise as rage coming from different lines of oppression, and finally
noise as a way to realise the violence accumulated from the
invisibility of the stories hidden by History.
Zinneke es una conferencia performativa.
Zinneke significa bastardo.
Zinneke es la presentación de este archivo de conocimientos diversos, relatado por mi Madre,
es escuchar la Historia contada por ella.
Zinneke es un archivo de gestos performativos, de poesías y de voces silenciadas.
Es aprender a ser mi Madre,
es cuidaros y cuidarme en escena.
Zinneke es mi Madre haciendo ruido.
Esta investigación fué posible gracias a una beca de investigación en P.A.R.T.S, el archivo de gestos performativos lo inicié como parte del proyecto “Les Borders” dentro del grupo de investigación en prácticas creep-queer Somatecx. Este colectivo fué iniciado por el filósofo Paul B Preciado en el 2013 en el Museo Nacional De Arte Reina Sofía.
