\n \u201cThe screen has accidentally, intentionally, been left blank\u201d\n\n

The title comes from a quote by the late Mona Ruij's work. The works show how queer and immigrant bodies take over cinematic and geopolitical spaces, reclaiming rights and heritage. The screen, in this case, represents cinema as a potential site for interventions, reinterpretations, and imaginations. The works shown in this room demonstrate how queer and immigrant bodies take over cinematic and other spaces, be they geopolitical, memorial, or temporal, reclaiming their rights, heritage, and boldness. It features sketches and posters for the last few editions of XPOSED, by Marion Habringer, who has been the festival\u2019s graphic designer since the early editions. It begins with the central piece of the room: Dance Permit (Denied) by Claudix Vanesix, a VR installation that allows the artist\u2019s nonbinary body to reclaim the Peruvian tradition Los Negritos de Sipsa, typically reserved for masculine heritage. Similarly, Truth Bears No Scandal by Ahmed Umar presents the artist singing classical Sudanese poetry songs from the 1920s to 1970s, written from same-sex perspectives. Roya by Rosh Zeeba continues these imagined tales of snails, queer lovers, and an Iranian garden of paradise against the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical violence. Journey to the CharBagh by Abdullah Qureshi summons the Pakistani mythological creature of winged horses, embodying queer Sufi tales of longing, spiritual awakening, and cruising. Finally, Borderhole by Amber Bemak and Nadia Granados confronts realities at the border between North and South America by imagining new borders, reflecting the current forefront of global geopolitics, mediated through media, queer female bodies, and ecologies.\n\n <\/p> \n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
