This evening I'm doing a remote event with Max*ine Vajt of No Fun Collective, connected with an exhibition programme at Trafo Gallery in Budapest. The exhibition is on until 7th April, and includes work by Bassam Al-Sabah, Hollow (Gyula Muskovics, Tamás Páll, Viktor Szeri), Denis Kozerawski, Lawrence Lek, Paula Malinowska, Tabitha Nikolai, and Sin Wai Kin.

19:30 - 21:00  Lecture performance with Zoyander Street

Moderated by Maxine Vajt

Venue: Trafoclub

Waiting is generally quite annoying. Sometimes it feels one would rather clean the windows, than wait at the post office. But what if there is no end in sight? When suffering from long covid, and no doctor really seems to care? When neurodivergency is systematically misdiagnosed? When accessing gender affirming therapy is impossible, or so far in the future that it is nearly impossible to imagine? For the interviewees of Zoyander Street´s game Cis Penance, waiting for one or more of these is, or at least was, a significant part of their life. Surely not a foreign feeling to Hungarian trans people, whose waiting time has been since 2020 prolonged indefinitely.  The performative lecture will take us on a trip through the intersections of neurodiversity and gender diversity, of sickness, body normativity, generative forms of rage, accessibility, and how we can protect ourselves, in waiting from the powers at be.
