No Anger
Since 2015 the artist and author No Anger has been running a blog titled À mon geste défendant which explores their own experience of physical disability from a feminist and queer perspective. They received a PhD in political science in 2019 analysing how the worldview produced by TV, film and advertising impacts perceptions of women’s bodies and LGBT+ people and alienates their sexuality, and ways in which such hegemonic interpretations can be challenged. Through their artistic practice combining video art, performance art and writing, they develop a critique of ableism. Their performances have been presented at ENS Lyon, at the MAC VAL - Musée d'Art Contemporain du Val-de-Marne, at the Palais de Tokyo and at the Centre Pompidou. Their work was awarded the Prix Utopi·e in 2023.
