Can I be here?

Collaboratively created by members of the Berlin Whacking community, Can I be here? Coming from the experience of a community, that is rooted in the experience of queerhate and racism, Can I be here? is an exploration of the difficulty and strenght of creating spaces for self expression.

‍

How hard will we try to not look into our ugly parts?

What lengths will we go to, to hide these from others?

And what if we can’t hide anymore?
