Reading My Panties 02: Queer Pillow Talk

Reading My Panties is an interdisciplinary project delving into innovative narratives by using mixed way of presentation, such as installation, videos, zines and pedagogical workshops. The project aims to contextualise complexity of marginalisation drawn on the theory of intersectionality and queer feminism and using storytelling as a way to tear down the alienation between identity and our everyday clothes. Panties, understood as an item of women’s undergarment for the lower body, record our daily usage and expose our self-identification. From a very young age, we learn gender presentations of society and of appropriation through embodying our underwear. In this project, we see panty as a representation of femininity in order to trigger discourse about cross-culture, femininity, and queerness.
