Shame on you!
Queer Story telling
Moderators: PeachPreach – Rumena Buzarovska and Ana Vasileva
Several narrators from the public cultural, political and social sphere narrate short stories about the bodily, gender and sexual shame that has marked their social non-normativity – hence “queer” as that outside the framework of the acceptable social code. The publically told stories twist and transform the shame, the mocked become the mockers – shame turns back to those who enraptured in their arrogance and privilege presume they have the right to act as gender, sexual and moral police and humiliate.
Out of the shame connected to our desires, pleasures, behaviours, movements and thoughts, these stories create resistance narratives. Our shame becomes our pleasure and happiness. Instead of a bowed head and burning cheeks, we resist. Instead of the unbearable internal suffocation, we burst out laughing.
