What is it about?
The Ace Gaze is explored through performative Cyborg Drag and video art. The artist's crip experience of being medically straightened by scoliosis surgery inspired the alter ego sexbot, which plays with the derogatory slur 'robot'. A stereotype asexuals often are faced with. José Esteban Muñoz’s theory on disidentification within queer performing arts plays an important role as a subversive strategy.

Why is it important?
Community, self-reflection and re-imagining global ideas of relating to each other and the Other... So crucial if we ever wish to progress!
Perspectives
I am still to meet or learn about another asexual performance artist that explores asexuality in their artistic and academic work.
