The idea is that it can be used by people without the fear of being discriminated against or questioned. The lived reality is different. This exhibition is about the subtle and overt aggressions experienced when people do not perform to normative binary ideas around gender. South African public spaces are inevitably gendered, and women are expected to conform to stereotypical ideas of what defines womanhood, such as being feminine, docile, agreeable, and subservient. Women who are regarded as acting outside the gender norms considered appropriate are met with aggression and violence, oftentimes from men.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa is a patriarchal heteronormative society. My work is a response to the reactions I am met with due to my perceived gender ambiguity. My daily experience of surveillance and interrogation focusses on my sexuality and the assumption that I am a lesbian. Hate crimes in South Africa are ever-increasing with little media coverage and intervention. The crimes that become public are often of violently murdered lesbian women whose bodies are viciously mutilated. This brutality is not taken seriously and at times the violence is justified as lesbian women are often viewed as amoral.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exhibition, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily Surveillance<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a multimedia production involving sound, video, and printmaking.
