we’re super excited for Alexander Auris and Jessica Gysel to join us and reflect on our summer theme: summer movements. together we’ll hold space for the queer experience of Brussels during summer. how do we approach queer spaces? how do we link visibility and desirability to freedom of movement? how do we envision queer utopia?

I talked to @dazed about KUTT, trying to give some context to what was happening in the lesbian scene (or so I thought) 25 years ago. For all of you curious, check the link in my bio. I’m in great company too ;)

So... In 2001 I made a dyke zine called KUTT when I was living in Amsterdam, together with Martien Mulder, Marjolein Rams and later Marlous Borm.

KUTT was the sister of BUTT magazine, and was concocted with its founders and my friends Jop van Bennekom & Gert Jonkers, who were also really involved.

We only made 3 issues, KUTT became cult and hard to find so l’m so so happy it’s been republished as a facsimile book by @idea.ltd .

The times seem so right! LESBIANS ARE EVERYWHERE ♠️ As I already said a few times, it took 25 years to get here, insane!

Meanwhile I created @girlslikeusmagazine , was part of @mothersanddaughtersbar , co-edited ‘Love and Lightning’, co-built a queer co-housing, gave a gazillions of talks and what not on queer culture - learning by doing and above all developing a frame & vocabulary for the communities and lives l’ve been part of and love so so much ...

Thank you @idea.ltd for your generosity, @studiojopvanbennekom for the cover and @el_cooke for the nice words by @jessicagysel

“There’s a lot more lesbian visibility now than there was in the early 2000s. At that time, we were really part of the underground,” reflects @jessicagysel, editor of legendary 'dyke' zine Kutt.⁠
⁠
Originally published from 2002-2003, Kutt quickly gained cult status among queer creatives, fashion insiders and indie mag obsessives thanks to its punkish attitude, lilac-hued pages and a roster of contributors that now reads like a roll call of early-2000s cool.⁠
⁠
Having long been out of print, the magazine is now being reissued as a single volume by @idea.ltd. ⁠
⁠
🔗 At the link in bio, CR speaks to Gysel about Kutt’s origins and how queer culture has evolved since its initial run.⁠
