a writer and an artist, part of the queer collextive RER Q, etaïnn zwer (they) practice a utopic investigation obsessed by the empowering metamorphosis of the poem, circling —listening, sniffing, caressing, tonguing, caring— queer identities, queer erotics and queer politics of intimacy as a very tenderradical technology to make more fuckable and decolonized worlds come true.
they believe in the magic of touch and the agency of rythme, and embody their research in steamy texts, micro sonic mantras, performatives readings, rituals of attention and exchange, «Writing in Drag» workshops, discreet installations— all of these holding space for fantasizing intimate realities where one enters clubs by drawing a picture at the entrance, changes sex from one scene to another, softens ones communication skills, moves freely around pleasure and can finally breath, fearlessly.
their work has been featured in galleries [Rond Point Projects (Marseille), Marcelle Alix (Paris), Mimosa House (London)], festivals [extra ! (Centre Pompidou Paris), Littérature, etc. (Lille)], on the radio [Station Station, Rinse]. and in magazines such as SPAM, Phylactère, How to become, L’Incroyable.
they are currently writing their first «performed novel», G X M N X S T X, a cuming of age poetic fantasy about sport, truth, genderfuck, psychoanalysis, desire-s, and Mariah Carey (yes). and looking for a queer producer to accompany their musical avatar in the making, so hit them up.
