Embodied Fictions – Staging the Self

Each of us plays a role – sometimes without even realizing it. We use clichés or break them apart. Our culture shapes how we present ourselves, and we shape it in return.

Artists use this very creative power to challenge prejudices and taboos. Some transform their lives or fantasies into art that makes us think.

Joy Stick presents her favorite works of the Kunsthalle, showcasing strong voices of women and the LGBTQIA+ community. She invites you to recognize old patterns and rethink them.

Come by, get inspired, and discover how art and performance break boundaries. Join a special drag tour that shows: identity is diverse, colorful, and always evolving!

Our drag tours offer an extraordinary and unforgettable view of the Hamburger Kunsthalle collection.

Please note that photos may be taken during the tour by the Hamburger Kunsthalle for public relations purposes.

The guided tour will be in English.

Participation: 6 € plus admission, available in advance.

Meeting point: Lichtwarkgalerie / Altbautreppenhaus / Empore

BIO

Graduated from Visual and Media Arts School at Université du Québec in Montréal, Joy Stick reads images through the eyes of a creator. In other words, she judges the cracks in her makeup as harshly as those in Renaissance masterpieces. Her love for her contemporaries will not allow her to forget the impact of the Guerrilla Girls’ intervention at the MK&G Hamburg – for she knows too well that the history of art has long discriminated against diversities, following a sexist timeline drawn by the dominant actors and institutions of the field.

Having recently settled in Hamburg, she is now offering drag tours at the Kunsthalle for the first time, in English or French. She will also be making a few appearances this autumn at Bar 439 in Hamburg. Joy has led several independent projects with a variety of publics and draws on the context surrounding her to nourish her inner creature.
