The Flesh, a compilation of prose and poetry by the artist, writer, researcher and political organiser Yves B. Golden.
The Flesh, among other things, addresses and archives the current US-American crisis of human rights: anti-Trans legislation ripples through education and healthcare systems. It reverberates, in text, through the artist’s body; the crisis demands witness. And it is not just a national crisis: the stage of US-American politics and legislation is one on which, of course, a global lens also focuses. Censorship practices in Florida, too, necessitate interventionist archives beyond American audiences.
This volume is the first time Golden's work is accessible to Spanish readers, with a selection of texts translated by the poet, artist and curator Leto Ybarra.
The Flesh is the result of a research project, selected in the call for "(self-)publishing in risography - La Escocesa 2023".
