UNZUCHT is the combination of the syllable Un, which could be translated to not or against, and Zucht, which would be defined as the act of breeding animals or cultivating plants. Within the term, linguistically is a larger statement of a socially-constructed natural order. Unzucht defines an erratic growth. Unzucht has been defined as sexual behaviour against the religious or cultural norms, mainly in between men and/or man and animals. Historically, Unzucht was used as a derogatory term that places judgment on human sexual behaviors considered immoral or perverse to the heteronormative social norms. Unzucht is a badge of honor, a rejection of classical heteronormative values. It is an act of independence towards expressing our mind, body, and sexuality. This term has a long history of being used against us to demean, degrade or even remove us from participating in society – and now we will use it to heal. co-curated by Slava Mogutin
