Author: Castro, Lia D
Through paintings, engravings, objects, photographs and drawings, Lia D Castro uses sex work to investigate how race, class and gender dynamics play roles in situations of vulnerability and intimacy, and how affection and care can be tools for social transformation. Her work invites us to consider how racialised and gendered bodies could occupy positions of power in a system that profits from their exclusion. The book includes works spanning the artist’s career, as well as essays. The title of the book highlights a historical condition imposed on the so-called “racial and gender minorities”: often seen as a majority at the very bases of our societies, while widely absent from decision-making positions. The volume's accompanying commissioned essays are by Ana Raylander Martís dos Anjos, Denise Ferreira da Silva and Tie Jojima.
