A very interesting play-com-essays on the performativity and arbitrariness of gender that responds to artwork from the Tate Galleries. I enjoyed the inclusion of the artwork in the book as it allowed the reader to engage in the art as well and form their own conclusions. I agreed with Albanza's reading of the pieces at many points but disagreed at others. Despite being less than 50 pages, it is still a very solid discussion of gender and gender expression.

Beautiful, beautiful catalogue! I had the pleasure to see this exhibition in London last summer and I picked up this book, since I was intrigued to know more. Apart from the exquisitely crafted pictures of the pieces, Kiss My Genders features a selection of poetry and essays that elaborate on specific topics and provide precious insight into the display itself, following a queer-centred perspective — which I loved. 5/5
