xx
✳ developed with Rita Oliveira
✳ xx is a book-object containing an essay that explores the theme of compulsory heterosexuality starting from the origins of the concept and how it's been used in gay liberation and the feminist lesbian movements since the 60's and 70's, the essay affirms the need for the continued undermining of CompHet both at an instutional and individual level

✳ the aesthetics of the book-object evoke a feminised image of the punk movement, being inspired by the same revolutionary sentiments that made it take shape in the 70's, when the concept of CompHet first arouse
