Epiphania Visuals is considered a pioneer in the gender art space since its founding in 2016. The term `Epiphania’ is derived from a very popular literary term of 'Epiphany' which refers to the moment of sudden and great revelation or realization.’ It works with a view to focus upon yet unexplored world of unbelievable diversity.
Epiphania Visuals want to see a 'Queer Socialist Future' in a broad sense. That's why Epiphenia try to explore the term queer in a sense of pluralism which will break all negative or linear senses such as all sort of fundamentalism. But Epiphania Visuals does not fight on behalf of any singular community in distress. Rather, the organization takes its stance against all forms of power politics in society. Power claims the majority and defines what is right accordingly. But terms such as majority or minority are only words. It does not have any particular religion, does not belong to any significant ethnic or racial group, no gender and no nationality. Only a global voice can speak against the injustices of power politics, of how it manipulates majority and victimizes the minority by violating its human rights in every step of the way – be it social, economic, political or cultural. As an initial step, Epiphania Visuals has been working against gender politics through various mediums such as film, literature and art practice along with artists, researchers and curators. The objective of this organization is to build a non-binary future where no minority, be it sexual, racial, religious or ethnic will be oppressed by the majority in the name of power. Epiphenia believe all kind of linear position in a sense is fundamental, what, indeed, can't gain a queer friendly future. That's why Epiphenia stands with all of forms what will ensure a queer normative world.
In the question of queer art, the strategy of ‘Epiphania Micro Gallery’ is to promote artists emerging from the non-binary world in the position of gender. In that case, when we discover artists who are biologically involved under the term ‘LGBTQ umbrella’ but agree to accept the binary as a social norm, we make questions to them and engender/turn on dialog.
We think the most important thing to build a non-binary world is-to be queer in gender politics, to be secular in religious aspects, to oppose colour racism and to be attentive to protect the rights of all ethnic communities.
We think, curators are considered not only as intermediary or agency, but also a manager, a leader and an innovator. Their overarching goal is to be sought out as a lens or tool to deconstruct the existing monolithic ideals of social norms; as well as to eye how these norms came into being and why.
