QUEERING: Artist Liv Wynter channels collective trauma with her cover of Rihanna’s 'Stay'

The verb form of the word queer, 'Queering' looks for places where gender, sexuality, masculinity and femininity can be challenged and questioned. Our immersive live stream, 12 and 13 July 2018, saw individuals from all walks use their art, talent and physicality to both show and tell us what the term means to them. ‘We should all speak about this collective pain we feel, the collective trauma as a group of women whose role models were abusers. Now we are older and feminists and queer, and so we have to look back at all those memories.’ Liv Wynter attempts to uncover the trauma of women who have suffered abuse, through her cover of Rihanna’s ‘Stay’, interjecting the song with themes of pain, suffering and rawness.
