'the flesh' presentation

a conversation between Yves B. Golden and Pablo Mera

Yves B. Golden, artist, writer, researcher and political organizer, comes to Barcelona to present The Flesh, a collection of her prose and poetry. The presentation will be together with architect and musician, Pablo Mera (aka Deadstar).

The Flesh, among other things, addresses and archives the current US-American crisis of human rights: anti-Trans legislation ripples through education and healthcare systems. It reverberates, in text, through the artist’s body; the crisis demands witness. And it is not just a national crisis: the stage of US-American politics and legislation is one on which, of course, a global lens also focuses. Censorship practices in Florida, too, necessitate interventionist archives beyond American audiences.

The book has a selection of texts translated into Spanish by poet, artist and curator Leto Ybarra.

After the book presentation we will have music played by Yves herself.
