Jade Yumang cv contact statement

With the recent authorization of queer marriage, the gay culture in North America has been sublimated into popular culture. This consent or acceptance has prompted me to investigate the new identity of being queer. What do we have to gain in being accepted or tolerated into a society that for the most part has denied us? Radicalism in the queer (sub)culture of the recent past has been replaced by the desire of queers wanting to be part of the white-picket-fence dream. My work examines what those dreams entail and how we are living a comfortable nightmare.
