Thinking Your Body Is a Privilege
2021. Embroidered textile.
This piece is a hand-embroidered tablecloth made alongside my mother, on which the phrase “Thinking your body is a privilege,” by trans activist and sociologist Miquel Missé, is written out of stitches.
Now it is part of a collaborative work that the artist Gema Polanco is creating: a great mantle of shared vulnerability and intimacy, that speaks of our psychological inheritances, our scars, traumas, shame, fears and guilt.
