Decostruzioni artistiche dell’eteronormatività. Riflessioni a partire da un’intervista a Charlie G Fennel sul rapporto tra arte, digitale e politica di genere

Through thematic analysis of an in-depth interview with Italian crossmedia artist Charlie G Fennel, the contribution investigates the relationship among art, gender politics and digital environments. Without any generalizing ambition, the study explores the production of meaning that emerges from the interaction between a gender non-conforming subject and the symbolic system of digital media. It inquires the ways in which social media and digital platforms provide spaces, tools and languages that are functional to the self-representation and deconstruction of (visual) gender conventions in a specific form of artistic activism.
