Beyond Our Bodies

Quashani, Kensington, Australia, 2018 'Im a solo artist named Quashani Bahd, I was born in Harare, Zimbabwe. I came to Melbourne 17 years ago with a suitcase pack full of hope, dreams and inspirations and three pairs of shoes. My life is music, art, and fashion. Being a black woman just means that I need to work harder because I’m a woman but then I need to work twice as hard because I’m a black woman. Femininity for me means being hard and also soft. It would be like brick and laces. Growing up the perception of being a woman is that women are sensitive and therefore it makes them weak. But you can be sensitive and still be pretty tough. Often I get told ‘you’re so tough, you’re so strong’ and I didn’t realize what people meant is this endurance, this resilience. And only a woman would know what that is like, because men take it for granted. Don't get me started on male privilege or we'll need a whole volume!!!'

    Dan Yao posing in a traditional dress in their one room apartment, Taichung, Taiwan, 2019 « I think I’m meant to break the rules, these gender roles. I hate people saying that boys should do this or women should wear that. These boxes are all made by us, humans, so humans can break these rules too! I still care a bit about what people think so I don’t want to look cheap. I want to look elegant, to be beautiful. I want people to think he/she/they is beautiful and I want them to forget if I am a boy or a girl. » Dan Yao Dan Yao lives in Taichung, a big city on the west coast. They make jewelry and are a make up artist in their spare time. They started to wear heels, dress and make up when they were still in school. Photo by Su Cassiano/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

      Shih Han on the roof top of the building where his family lives, New Taipei City, Taiwan, 2019 ‘I feel very proud that Taiwan just became the first Asian country to legalize same sex marriage, and I really believe it’s just the first step. Now we have to let more and more people know that we have the same rights as heterosexual people. Education is the priority.  I get discriminated by gay men because of this expectation that we should be muscular with short hair, as to compensate for something. I’m sick of this. Some patriarcal gay men asked me why I had long hair, thinking I was giving gay men a bad name by looking different. They think it’s adding an extra layer of misunderstanding for the society. They believe I’m not a good gay man. But why should I follow the rules? I just want to be myself.’ Shih Han Shih Han is a performing artist. He lives with his family in New Taipei City.

        Wëi Yi and Jay kissing in Jay's apartment, Taipei, Taiwan, 2019 ‘I think gender stereotypes are also very strong in the gay community. Taiwanese gay men don’t have their own culture, so they’re appropriating the western gay culture but without the drag aspect. Drag culture just appeared about five years ago, and before that it was just about masculinity. Men feel like they need to be stocky or have bodies like western men to be acceptable. In Taiwan, we only have the history of fighting and resisting but we don’t have the history of defining ourselves, or defining our own culture. Also the government tends to erase gay culture and art. So we don’t have our own gay history, we don’t have a path to follow our culture and identity, so we copy from the western world. And Taiwan has been colonized by many countries, by Japan, China and Spain. So we tend to change ourselves, to adapt very quickly. There’s been many changes in the past years.’ Jay Photo by Su Cassiano/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

          Elliot and Lucia in bed, Melbourne, Australia, 2018 Lucia and Elliot started dating in Berlin, where they both live. She is from Argentina, he is from Australia. It was the first time Lucia came to Australia to visit Elliot's family. She said that getting outside of Berlin's alternative bubble would always be a reminder of the rampant intolerance of the greater world, and that being queer was not that well accepted everywhere. Lucia doesn't really like it here and told me that in some places people would really stare at them. This is a crucial period in Elliot's life as he started transitioning gender, and they support each other a lot. Even though Australia recently voted yes for same sex marriage, there is still hostility towards LGBTQIA people, especially in small country towns.

              Mini is a Blak queer crip non binary person from Melbourne, living on Wurundjeri land. They perform as the solo hip hop artist Racerage, do spoken word and visual arts. "When I was way younger I went on dates with a bro who mansplained to me what a femme was, and he was telling me that I was a femme, that femme didn’t have to have long hair etc. That just really pushed me away from identifying as femme for so long. I wasn’t gonna let this bro dictate my gender. So people were constantly assuming I was femme, adding me to online femme collectives. Being femme is subversive and intentional but not necessarily aligned with being cis femme. It’s an intentional celebration of queer femininity and I felt like this person was telling me I was a lady! I’m not a girl, I’m not a lady. I’m a creature and I love feminism but I’m not a girl. » Mini Photo by Su Cassiano/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

                V in their rehearsal room, Brunswick, Australia, 2018. V is a musician and a tattoo artist. 'If there is one adjective I hate being described by is SEXY. It repulses me, I find it disgusting, even by a woman. I don’t want to be sexualized by my friends or by strangers. I’m not someone’s object. I get sexualized enough by people on the street! I suppose the better way to describe my gender is androgynous. I don’t want to be a man, I don’t want to be a woman." V Photo by Su Cassiano/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

                    Serwah plays in the heavy anti colonial band Dispossessed and is also a multidisciplinary artist. Stanmore, Australia, 2017 'I think femininity is different for everybody. I’ve been doing a lot of research about the Akan tribe that is my father’s tribe in Ghana. It’s so hard having roots in so many places and feeling like in a grey area. My mother is Italian-Dutch, and my father is Ghanaian. When two members of my African family that I never met came to Australia, it was basically ‘ Hey, that’s your sisters, make them feel at home'. They were calling me 'red', which is a derogatory term. I was like whoa?!?. Then I go to my white side of the family and they would be like ‘ Why don’t you change your appearance, straighten your hair, dress properly’ etc? I didn’t choose to be like this why can’t you accept me as I am anyway? It’s so hard to accept the differences between both sides cause they’re so different and contradicting at times.'

                      Monica, Chiang Mai, Thailand, 2017 Actually I don’t identify so much with a group of people or with a gender. I can be very masculine sometimes. It’s really about what the system tells you what you should be or not, it’s also about how hormones work for you at that time of your life, it’s really chemical and we have a lot of this going on. To be free is not easy sometimes, the system tells you that a woman has to be this way, a man that way, now it’s a little bit more mixed up and open minded that it used to be. But there is still jugement and the way people look at stereotypes is still strong. Beauty types for example… A lot of artists are trying to push on the other way but it's hard to break the structure." Photo by Su Cassiano/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
