Queer Invisible Academy
Queer because we question sexualities and genders as we know them ; Invisible because we do not want to embrace policed sexualities and genders ; Academy because we want a new way to create knowledge.
Let the real queens and kings in !
We are London - Come play with us
DIY Street Party and performances
Sunday 22nd of August, 3PM, in front of Buckingham Palace
The Queen is fake. Buckingham Palace is fake. The fantasy familiy as represented by the Windsors is fake too.
London is not just monuments to an empire build on the backs of the oppressed. London is us ! Queer, beautiful, crazy, with more glamour in our littlew toes than Princess Diana ever had. Who are the royal family ? A bunch of in-bred aristocrats pretending to be better than the rest of us, a symbol of the ideal nuclear family we are all supposed to aspire to. Well, we see through the facade. There are queers amongst them, bursting to get out but held back in the biggest closed of them all.
We reject all idealization of the nuclear family with its gender roles. We reject the royal family. We reject the quuen who like a dominatrix in a non-consensual power relationship whips up ugly patriotism and foces normalization upon us.
We reject the little tea-parties, where the only homosexuals welcome are those who recreate the heterosexual norms with their consumption, their mortgages and their right to join the army. Tourists, do not sitck to the already well-troden paths ! Do not imagine that you will find London in front of a palace, or inside a museum or shop. London is in the cracks in between. We reclaim this space. If you are fed up with the patriarchal heteronormative traditions represented by this royal facade, we invite you to join our celebration, here in London.
The royals revolt us, and so we revolt.
