“Life is not easy for a man either, believe me.
Because you will be stronger, heavier burdens will be placed upon you. Because you will have a beard, people will laugh if you weep, even when you are in need of tenderness. You will be ordered to kill or to be killed in war, and your complicity will be demanded in order to maintain the tyranny established in the age of the caves.”
— Oriana Fallaci, Lettre à un enfant jamais né
STATELESS FAGGOT is an autobiographical essay. Between texts and paintings, in a blue dream, it recounts the experience of exile and the violence of a society hostile to homosensibility.
ALIREZA SHOJIAN (born in Tehran in 1988) is an Iranian painter, visual artist and queer activist. Exiled in France since 2019, his work explores male identity, sexuality, the body and the deconstruction of the taboos surrounding homosexuality in Middle Eastern culture.
