Détails du produit

These gloves are inspired by two short essays by Alok Vaid-Menon, a brilliant, gender-nonconforming artist whose groundbreaking work focuses on gender, race, trauma, and being human. In particular, I’m inspired and awed by their relentless dedication to examining the gender binary as a Western, white, colonial, and, ultimately, racist form of oppression.

This pattern was purely a labour of love, as a nerdy non-binary knitter who thinks themself entirely too clever; and admiration, as a long-time follower of Alok Vaid-Menon’s work.

Each glove “reads” one of two quotes from Vaid-Menon about being non-binary, converted into binary code:

“being non-binary isn’t new; you can’t divide billions into two.”
