Autorenporträt
Fleur Pierets is an award-winning performance artist, writer, speaker and LGBTQ+ activist whose work balances photography and theory, performance and non-fiction. Together with her wife, Julian P. Boom, she founded Et Alors? Magazine, in which they published their conversations with queer musicians, visual artists, writers and performers, capturing the zeitgeist of a world in the midst of striving for change and its cultural awareness when it comes to LGBTQ representation in art history. In 2017, Fleur and Julian started 22 The Project, a performance art piece in which the couple would get married in every country that legalised same-sex marriage. Julian was diagnosed with brain cancer and died on 22 January 2018. Fleur has released a two-volume children's book, Love Around the World and Love is Love (6ft. Press, 2020), Heerlijk Monster (Das Mag, 2022), and is currently writing a 6 episode series for Belgian TV. Fleur speaks at LGBTQ centres, consulates and embassies globally. She talks about the importance of inclusion and the need to continue working as human rights advocates by launching bridge-building projects. In May 2023 she's been invited by the EU and the UN to speak about LGBTQ human rights during IDAHOT in Washington.
