The queerification of something allows to understand that thing in a way we usually don’t come across in our daily lives. The term queer alludes to the opposition between heteronormative or “normal” culture and queer or “LGBT” culture. Due to his work in design and his consequent understanding of the human body and the clothing we wear, Olle Lundin will spread his ideas on what a normal body is, whether it exists at all and we use it to communicate information. Olle Lundin is the coordinator of the queerification of the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven. What is queerification? “Queer” as an academic, cultural but also social term signifies both behaviour and appearance that goes against the grain. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
