text
This work as your name suggests is dedicated to my allies and not allies,
to the excluded, forgotten, who are currently in precarious situations,
to people who are working for a world without borders and
a dignified life for everyone
to artists who create new utopias,
to the "Observer" who is also involved
Queer:
queer . kwir (r)
Using "queer" is a way of reminding us how we are perceived by the rest of the world. It's a way of
telling ourselves we don`t have to be witty and charming people who keep our lives discret and
marginalized in the straight world.

Dear Observer observer!
please don’t call
me after your
femalesness,
maleness,
blackness,
whiteness,
or any-national, cultural,
ethno- logical
concept-ions
|
Dear Observer
please don’t make
special efforts to situate me
in your mapping of
the world,
by not only
naming or indicating the
niche in which you
feel I belong
or
should look like
but
by seeking my
physical confirm-ation of it |
