Chic Point
Queerness and checkpoints, geography and desire.
Sharif Waked was born in 1964 in Nazareth. With ferocious humour, Waked engages with the Middle-Eastern political conflict, turning terror into a somber cabaret.
Homecoming Queenz
This is a live performance shot by smartphones and was taken at Ben Gurion International Airport while on the way back from abroad.
Elias Wakeem is a gender queer artist and activist, who mixes languages, changes characters and plays different identities, using grotesque body forms that help him create a scene, which challenges the boundaries existing in his society.
Errorvision
Trashy Clothing’s Autumn/Winter ’21 collection titled ‘Errorvision,’ is a satirical play on the politicized world of song contests, sports competitions, and beauty pageants such as Eurovision, the Olympics, and Miss Universe.
Trashy Clothing is a Ready-to-wear Palestinian fashion label characterized by a daring mix of satire, kitsch, and wit. Under the co-creative direction of Omar Braika and Shukri Lawrence, the label’s goal is to address difficult political circumstances by conveying design statements of anti-colonial resistance and joyful artistic militancy.
