About project:
The title Sukeban comes from the Japanese name for female delinquents and street gangs, formed as a consequence and a feminist response to the women’s inability to join male street gangs. Sukeban is a fantasy performance that, through the form of an interactive game, experiments with the position of anonymity and control in the online environment. Thematically, it draws inspiration from women’s gangs and women’s online movements which are active in and committed to problematizing the representation of women and woman’s body in the virtual environment. By researching the “incel” phenomenon and similar forms of online sexism, Sukeban, through the aesthetic and narrative interweaving of manga, anime and video games, depicts a fictional world of female superheroes in the fight against discrimination. Sukeban is a fantasy of contemporary female vigilantes that are coming up with their own rules of the game, playing, fighting, avenging and the free space of the female gaze through the communal playfulness.
The audience can either simply observe the performance or actively and anonymously participate in it – for this, they need a smartphone with a charged battery and internet connectivity and/or data transfer capabilities.
O projektu:
Naslov Sukeban izhaja iz japonskega poimenovanja prestopnic in ženskih uličnih tolp, kot posledica in feminističen odgovor na nezmožnost vključevanja žensk v moške ulične tolpe. Sukeban je fantazijsko-performativna uprizoritev, ki skozi format interaktivne igre eksperimentira s pozicijo anonimnosti in kontrole v spletnem okolju. Vsebinsko si izhodišče jemlje v ženskih tolpah in ženskih spletnih gibanjih, ki aktivno in angažirano problematizirajo reprezentacijo žensk in ženskega telesa v virtualnem okolju. Preko raziskovanja fenomena »incelov« ter sorodnih oblik spletnega seksizma, Sukeban v estetskem in narativnem prepletanju mang, animejev in videoiger, izrisuje fiktivni svet superherojk v boju proti diskriminaciji. Sukeban je fantazija o sodobnih ženskih vigilantkah, ki skozi skupnostne igrivosti vzpostavlja lastna pravila igre, igranja, boja, maščevanja in svobodnega prostora ženskega pogleda.
