Walking Failure

Nando Messias engages with representations of
effeminate men and the queer body. He explores its visibility, invisibility and
hyper-visibility and connects this with the way his ‘sissy’ body has been
derided, ridiculed, punished, but also celebrated. Walking Failure looks
at his inability and unwillingness to ‘walk like a man’ and the potentially
devastating consequences of walking with a swish.

“I want to draw
attention to sissiphobic violence, to resist common misconceptions of gender
misalignment and to reinvent the sissybody as glorious.”
