The event will start with a talk by Fannie Sosa that will question whether twerking is a sexually liberating gesture or a representation of the oppressed hyper-sexualised body. This will be followed by a TWERK LAB with Joelle D'Fontaine.
The TWERK LAB will be an introductory dance class in which you will learn how to twerk. This will produce footage that will be incorporated into a new music video for Nicki Minaj´s ‘Anaconda’ - a track in which Minaj’s body functions as a fictional parody. The material will be redistributed with the aim to disorienting/re-own images of objectified bodies.
Whether twerking is a sexually liberating gesture or a representation of the oppressed hyper-sexualised body is a question of reading. The project ask is if twerking it is a punch at the taboos of sexuality or just a banal action that increases the gender difference and subsequent female subordination.
