“Veneno pa tu piel” is the sixth of eight chapters of the film program Queer Strategies and Tentacles, curated by Rosa Barotsi and Zairong Xiang, featuring Ion de Sosa, Mamántula (2023, 48 minutes); Monica Stambrini, Queen Kong (2016, 20 minutes); Enoch Cheng, Just like snakes (2023, 21 minutes). This chapter is part of the second section of the program, The Poetics of Disguise: Fake it! Not Because I Want to Make It, which explores passing as a prevalent survival strategy for queers across history as a safeguard against the risks of being perceived as transgressing normative expectations of gender and sexuality. The films reach out, like tentacles, to make what seems so straight-wardly and unquestionably authentic, if not fake, at least queerly vague.
