“The very idea that bodies “have” a natural orientation is exposed as fantasy in the necessity of the enforcement of that
orientation, or its maintenance as a social requirement for intelligible subjectivity.”

Ahmed, Sara. (2006). page 85. Queer Phenomenology : orientations, objects, others. Durham ; London: Duke University Press.



                                                     









                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
‘Explore the gallery, use your experience and take part in artworks’



 
This compass explores ‘Gender Identity’, which is confined to rigid stereotypes as if the world only consists of one colour, one voice, and one path.
In this diverse and inclusive world, let us approach each other with open minds, appreciating our differences with respect and understanding, nurturing each other’s growth. Each person boasts its unique posture, hue, and fragrance, much like the infinite diversity and beauty within every individual’s heart. This space thus becomes an intimate space, like a “room of one’s own”, a place of creation in which the audience experiences a journey, through the eyes committed. Between memories, perceptions, recollections, and affects, these works enter into word, and dialogue, and resonate with each other across their experiences which connect them. These fabrics which float in space, as if barely finished, still explore gender identity, are mainly inspired by own colours of love ourselves or images, and express abstractedly.  
                                                   
The primary objective of our survey, based on 100 interviewees, was to collect respondents’ feelings, narratives, and drawings concerning their gender identity.
The link between their drawings, and their perception of gender identity conveys their emotions, cognitions, and perceptions to a certain extent.
By following these spaces, on your own and with others, you are invited to take part in artworks. You can fold paper and read. You can draw in the fabric. You can make a wish.

You can sweep, breathe and whisper - together, alone or even in your mind!
