Les aliens sont des travelos (Aliens are crossdressers)

Les aliens sont des travelos (Aliens are crossdressers)

Jordan's theoretical research into queer cartoon representations reveals that the only characters identified as male who continually cross paths as female are alien figures. Since these alien representations are the product of humor and mockery, their only characteristic is that they are crazy women. Space Zombies, Lilo & Stitch, American Dad, Teletubbies, Les Supers Nanas, etc. are all animated films and series that feature the exact same type of queer characters: the dehumanized. This dehumanization of LGBT+ people is not their only sore point, as some major cartoon producers prefer to portray the sexual and gender minority community as beings to be hated and feared to the utmost.

How is the queer cartoon community dehumanized and demonized? In a lecture of one and a half hours, Jordan willRogerpresent his analysis that confirms what queer and trans people have learned all their lives: we are aliens.

TW Colorful cartoon passages ; Discriminatory language analyzed; Sexual aggression suggested

Kinderen Niet Toegelaten

Kinderen Niet Toegelaten

‘Kinderen Niet Toegelaten’ keert in een bijzonder(e) geanimeerde avond ongegeneerd en ongecensureerd terug naar de kindertijd van een centrale gast. Als de kindertijd zo bepalend is in iemands leven, hoe uit zich dat bij de volwassen persoon?

We gaan in gesprek over kinderlijke onschuld, witte leugens, verpletterende verliefdheid, verborgen schaamte, gemiste kansen en grenzeloze idealen. Hoe kijkt het kind naar de volwassene van nu? Hoe kijkt de volwassene naar het kind van toen? 

 

Ditmaal nodigen we Prof. Dr. Guy T'Sjoen in onze gezellige zetel uit.

Guy T’Sjoen is androloog-endocrinoloog en hoogleraar aan de Universiteit van Gent. Als hormoon- en transgenderspecialist streeft hij naar het doorbreken van seksuele taboes en naar een betere genderzorg. Hij was betrokken bij de televisieserie ‘Topdokters’ (VIER).

 

Wie was de jonge Guy T’Sjoen?

Was hij dokter geworden zonder zijn persoonlijke genderverhaal?

Welke impact had het strenge zeepreventorium op zijn verdere leven?

Welke aspecten van zijn kinder- en pubertijd bepalen zijn persoon tot op vandaag?

Waarom viert hij niet graag verjaardagen?

Is hij altijd al een voorvechter geweest?

Zal hij deze vragen beantwoorden, of neemt zijn spreekangst toch de overhand?

Honor&Respect
Sep
18
to Sep 30

Honor&Respect

Honor&Respect is an art exposition birthed out of the 'Journeying into the erotic' artist residency. During this residency 7 artist were commissioned to meditate on the speech 'Uses of the erotic, the erotic as power' by our great ancestor Audre Lorde. This powerful speech forms the basis of this art exposition. Honor&Respect is a silent revolution advocating for a shift in our culture. To restore honor and respect for the divine feminine. It is a call to de-objectify black femininity. To remove it out of the hyper sexual lense. The exhibition 'Honor & Respect' advocates that we see sexuality as merely a part of someone's being. As a beautiful and inexhaustible source of creativity, which can make black women, femmes and non binary folks feel empowered. For it not to be a quality by which one is reduced or suppressed. With this exhibition we acknowledge that femininity can come in many different bodies. Kuchukua Hatua understand that one must not be a cisgenderd women to hold space for the feminine energy within themselves. Kuchukua Hatua finds the inclusion of LGTBQIA+ in this project self-explanatory.

**This art exposition is curated and initiated by the lovely Rose-Myrtha Fortuna (IG: @artcuratorrrosemyrtha)

Girly x HH

Level: Beginner / Open Level / Advanced

Bring out your inner diva! Girly X High Heels is een high energy class die volledig draait om zelfvertrouwen en het uitdrukken van jouw vrouwelijkheid (ook als man). Deze stijl verwerkt verschillende elementen van andere dansstijlen zoals Jazz en Hiphop. De focus ligt naast elegantie ook op het uitvoeren van lijnen, walking en de juiste techniek voor bepaalde bewegingen.

Niet iedereen is even comfortabel op hakken dus het is zeker geen verplichting want bij sommige choreografieën zal er ook op sneakers gedanst worden! Het is een open level les dus iedereen vordert op z’n eigen tempo en is vrij om te kiezen om al dan niet op hakken te dansen. Maar indien je het toch wilt proberen raden we je aan om te beginnen met schoenen met een dikke hak.

Maximum aantal deelnemers: 75 deelnemers
