VENUE: Zacherlfabrik, 16:00-17:00
Talk in English
No Bra in conversation with Kristina Pia Hofer.
What constitutes normativity in pop music? How does queerness relate to it? No Bra’s music videos, albums and live sets value a highly stylized directness: they expertly negotiate crucial aspects of dancefloor politics - “gender fluidity, performance of social roles, urban anomie, misogyny and the male gaze, the sexual perversions wrought by social inequality” (Liam Cagney) - without drifting off into explaining them away. Nonetheless, this night No Bra will talk (and take questions from the audience) about the artistic practice of subverting stereotypes and unfitting categories.
