Accessibility

In Pretend It’s A Toilet, Sara Leghissa takes a concrete look at the representation of bodies in public space, as a space for queer socialisation and, at the same time, a place where binary thinking is applied par excellence. Can public toilets serve as a pretext for questioning the power dynamics that allow or prevent us from taking a stand on implicit rules? Why do certain bodies seem to be in the right place, and de facto more legitimate in dictating to others what they should do? This starter pack for peeing freely is an invitation to get together around hard-hitting slogans to bypass these dominant trends.
“Space is neutral, it’s the presence of ‘normalised’ bodies that makes a specific place a place of power.”
_Sandra Cane
