CONCEPT

ANTI-CAPITALIST QUEER FEMINIST : It feels strange. This is a work that appeals to anti-capitalism, yet it asks you for capital. I hate myself for being so immersed in capitalism. But I can't escape it completely in order to live in this world. Paradoxes arise endlessly in my values ​​and my existence. In fact, the iPhone on which I'm writing this is in my hands after being exploited and storing wealth.

Honestly, I'm by no means a perfect "ugly, anti-capitalistic, queer feminist." There's no such thing. But by purchasing this piece, you're directly supporting me, not Amazon or Uniqlo.

They're supporting something that was made by two queer people, and I think it's important that there's transparency about how this money is spent.

This is my living expenses. I will mainly use it for food and rent next month. I have been making a free queer feminist zine called BGU since 2017. Through BGU, I create expressions and movements that are not bound by capital. In order to continue this, I absolutely need money to support my life. Think of it as a kind of wealth distribution.

Does this all make sense? Of course not. How do we fight capitalism that is so deeply rooted?

One thing I can say is that through these small dialogues, struggles and transparency, I think we can question the structure a little.

Rainbow military uniforms? $800 T-shirts proclaiming "girl power"? Fuck that. How contradictory it is to "empower" others while participating in their discrimination. I hope this message reaches them as a small step towards changing this structure. (super-KIKI)
