During the Corona time, I have been hearing the word “Normalität” almost daily in the news: the eagerness to return to “normality.” The following poem is a small glimpse of my normality.

Inky Lee, “Normality,” COVEN BERLIN

Inky Lee’s poem “Normality” gives a sense of the “normalities” of being Korean in Germany (and being seen as Asian) at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The poem responds to omnipresent and interpenetrative xenophobia, racism, and misogyny, but Lee insists on the reality of living, including pain and the deep study of languages.

With the illustration series Cofradía de los Invertidos (2013 by Judy Mièl) COVEN Berlin inflames the edge between symbols of Catholic cults and emblems of queer rebellion and empowerment – minorities slip into their reputed despisers' costumes and celebrate the hidden, the censored and the untolerated. The queer imagery in these portrayals is inspired by the traditional Holy Week processions in Spain, where the worshippers carry religious sculptures on their shoulders commemorating the last days of Jesus Christ while the audience gets carried away by the solemnity of this visual spectacle.
