#claudecahun - October 25, 1894

25 października 1894 roku urodziła się Claude Cahun – francuska artystka, jedna z pionierek queerowej sztuki i surrealizmu. Jej autoportrety dekodują płeć, tożsamość i społeczne role. Razem z Marcel Moore prowadziła ruch oporu przeciw nazistom podczas II wojny światowej. (fot. Wikipedia) #ClaudeCahun #QueerArt #fotografia #sztukaXXwieku

#ExistOtherwise #LitJournal was inspired by #ClaudeCahun and #MarcelMoore. When we began publishing, we did not realize that the US was on the verge of becoming a fascist country.

"Remembering the queer, anti-Nazi art of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore.

w over 400 submissions for 14, we only get a few photos (or any art). luckily, for this issue we accepted three wonderful non-photographic artworks, so we're good for now

but we'd love to get more photo submissions. here's some inspiration from #ClaudeCahun and #MarcelMoore

"They asked me to write about home
When there is nothing to write home about
They want me to feed their minds with gory JPEGs
But I don’t have the stomach for that..."

Check out the latest episode of my other podcast @theseoldqueers.bsky.social
where I talk about #queer #dyke surrealist revolutionaries: #ClaudeCahun and #MarcelMoore - who together created groundbreaking art, and later went on to undermine Nazis. Their story is a very timely subject all things considered. Enjoy. Take inspiration.

i am having to do some heavy thinking. the election made me want to tweak the focus of #ExistOtherwise #LitJournal

moving forward, i want to publish more #queer and #trans voices, maybe even only those voices. i also want to emphasize themes of #resistance

but i have a problem. um, in fact, i am the problem. i'm a cis-het white guy

otoh, i feel free to promote the voices of anyone i want to in my little journal

otoh, by doing so i become a gatekeeper

comments welcome

#ClaudeCahun is #muse

@CrimethInc

our muse #ClaudeCahun appears in this fascinating article about a thriving gay underground in pre WWI Germany

#Sumissions are open for Issue 12 of #ExistOtherwise #LitJournal whose theme is this #ClaudeCahun quote:

"In everyday life, we waste words and gestures because we have time to lose and no one is looking, but the actor, a thousand eyes follow his movements and he has only an hour or two to transmit the drama that he performs, it is therefore indispensible that he act and speak with the greatest economy, on stage no waste, nothing must be lost."

“The rule interests me only for its leftovers with which I make my swill.” — #ClaudeCahun
