DIVERSE BODIES
Interview: Torsten Schwick
With "Sexual education on trans* and non-binary bodies", a collection of
descriptive and informative cards will be available from September 2021 on the
diverse manifestations of trans* and non-binary breast areas and genitals. The
body features are deliberately shown in an aesthetically enriching form and are
supplemented by a description. The material cards can be used for educational group
work in workshops, in teaching, in a self-help context and/or for private viewing.
CHECK spoke to Alexander Hahne, the creative mind behind the project.
Hello Alexander, how would you describe the new
material cards in your own words?
The material cards offer visual insights into trans*
and non-binary bodies. People have very different
wishes for what, or whether they want to change
something in their body.
And how did the idea come about?
During my work in sexual education and as a bodyworker,
I noticed that there is no illustrated material
that represents different trans* and non-binary bodies
and shows the wonderful diversity. Often trans*
and non-binary bodies are represented and, above
all, named in such a way that reference is made to
cis bodies. I don't like that and what I see are empty
spaces that remain invisible. Therefore, I decided to
develop material myself to fill the void with life and
to make a contribution to greater visibility.

woman, is not dis_Abled, and draws

Where can they be used in practice?
The cards can be used for educational group work in
workshops, in teaching, in a self-help context and/
or for private viewing. It is also possible to use it as a
decoration for rooms. In medical contexts, they can
help to counter speechlessness on both sides. (ts,mb)
