When we talk about the Brussels queer community<\/a>, we have to mention Biche de Ville. This artist defines themselves as a transfeminist non binary punk poetess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biche de Ville’s latest single is \u201cRides\u201d, meaning wrinkles where they tackle the music<\/a> industry and the reign of ageism and sexism. For them, there is not just one way to be beautiful, talented or succesful and they’re determined to let everyone know. The message Biche de Ville is putting out there is ringing a bell just few weeks after a French radio commentator said on the air that artists should be young and beautiful and that those who are not should just write for others. The queer artist Hoshi was just taken as an example saying she was frightening and that no one would hang a poster of her in their bedroom reducing in this way music only to its image. The artist received massive support on social media. At KET Magazine, we support this as well. This is why Benjamin reached out to Biche de Ville to ask some questions about \u201cRides\u201d and \u201cKevin\u201d the new album coming out with the help of a crowdfunding<\/a> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biche\u00a0de\u00a0Ville,\u00a0can you tell us about\u00a0“Rides”?\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RIDES evokes a burning desire to see wrinkles in the spotlight and denounces our patriarchal society where injunctions made to women (but also to minorities and men) are legion, where sexism and ageism rule. Our bodies and our lives don’t freeze at 25. Aging exists, it is natural and wonderful. These traces of our experience must be glorified and not erased by filters or surgery. We need representations of women regardless of their age in the media, in culture, on social media, everywhere! From the cult of plastic, it is time to switch to the cult of authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
