QWORKAHOLICS ANONYMOUS IV: LANGUAGE

Queer culture, as performed in the global West, is often shaped by proximity to whiteness, gender normativity, English-language, neo-liberalism and social assimilation. This project seeks to create and reflect on the boundaries and possibilities of queer identity beyond western narratives. 

For many, queerness is not just identity—it is labour. The labour of survival, translation, grief, and reinvention. It is the invisible, intergenerational work of holding histories, reweaving ancestral memory, tending to collective wounds, building care networks, and imagining futures in the absence of structural safety. Fadescha’s project Qworkaholics Anonymous (2020—) reimagines the format of de-addiction programs like Alcoholics Anonymous, and creates a time and space for marginalised figures to acknowledge the burnout from the labour of their very act of survival.

This meeting of Qworkaholics Anonymous invites trans and queer artists living in exile—migrants, refugees, stateless people, and those displaced by force or necessity—to reflect on and intervene in dominant narratives of queer culture through the lenses of language, ancestral memory, and queer labour. We focus on practices that use language—spoken or written, as well as embodied, sonic, visual— not only from identity, but from land, lineage and longing. We hope to gather voices that resist assimilation and speak toward a queer future informed by multiplicity, dislocation, and deep-rooted knowledge.

About Fadescha:

Vidisha-Fadescha (they/them) is an artist, curator and cultural critic. Holding their lived experience of a radical gender, caste, race and disability, Fadescha suggests centering one’s own body and desire towards liberation. Their artistic work includes video, sound installations, text, and performance. They direct collective practices as a norm-critical pedagogy to queer hegemony.

Fadescha’s curatorial project, Party Office, is an anti-caste, anti-racist, trans-feminist, art and social, space and time that was founded in New Delhi in 2020. Through publications, grants, archives, conversations of life-lived, social gatherings, and more, they are building transnational dialogues on empathetic futures, care communities, and personal agency.

In 2024, Fadescha (for Party Office) curated the exhibition ‘Resonance Beyond Escape: Qworkaholics Anonymous III’ (June-Oct 2024, Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts),  a digital curatorial ‘we’re the ones we’ve been waiting for’ (July 2024, performing borders) and were an artist at the Lagos Biennial. In 2023, Vidisha participated in projects with Prince Claus Fund Biennial Symposium (Colombo), Survival Kit 14 (Riga), Rehearsing Moves on Hazy Paths (at ZK/U Berlin), Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts (Vilnius / Nida), Kunst im Untergrund (organised by nGbK Berlin), 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art (Sydney), and was a lumbung artist at documenta fifteen, Kassel in 2022.

Fadescha’s work has been published in arts and cultural magazines including Frieze, Flash Art, Texte zur Kunst, Metropolis M, Hyperallergic, Mezosfera, Aperture Magazine, Art in America, Galerie, Dazed, and Vogue.

As We Grow is our educational research program. Focusing on intergenerational dialogue and the related exchange of experiences is at the core of AWG. Each iteration is unique. Each is designed in a dialogue with the leading artist. AWG encourages learning through making attitudes and culminates in a group exhibition. In 2023, we strengthened our AWG and consequently focused on supporting early-career artists.

SVĚTOVA 1  is a community-based nonprofit artist-run space and a platform focused on emerging, queer, and social matters. Through exhibitions, public programs, and educational activities. Our mission is to continuously aspire to become a safer space, support our fellow friends, maintain sustainable processes, and act as a refuge for those in need. We aim to become an educational and research institute – run by artists for artists. In the recent years, AWG has been kindly supported by the Ministry of Culture Czech Republic Arts Grant and the Culture Fund of Czech Republic Arts Grant.
