Chapter 3 quotes
"We can queer mass culture by making it say things it was never designed to say, and act in ways it was never meant to act." Pg. 126
Reaction: This gives me the impression that hate and unfair discrimination is unacceptable and should be stopped already.
The principle: perform reality
" Here, it usefully allows us to visualize and to act out our dreams, to demonstrate our convictions or prefigure our ideals." Pg 106
Reaction: Doing a performance art can be effective when sending out a message.
"Like the image and story of Rosa parks, we know these well." Pg. 106
Reaction: Based on her actions, she sent out a message that we shouldn't let people treat us like garbage and stick with our dignity.
Intervention 2 idea
My idea would be a performance art based on drag queens. Hate and and unfair discrimination towards drag quuens is unacceptable and they should be treated equally just like everyone else.
What I would do in my intervention is create a video of myself, dressed up as a drag queen and go out in public with no shame. You may see people's reaction of seeing me when I'm out eating or shopping. Doing this would send a message that there's no shame of how we look like and people should stop being judgemental. Because in the end, we're all human beings and should be treated with respect.
