Zom-Fam by Kama La Mackerel
goodreads
In their debut poetry collection, Kama La Mackerel mythologizes a queer/trans narrative of and for their home island, Mauritius. Composed of expansive lyric poems, ZOM-FAM (meaning “man-woman” or “transgender” in Mauritian Kreol) is a voyage into the coming of age of a gender-creative child growing up in the 80s and 90s on the plantation island, as they seek vocabularies for loving and honouring their queer/trans self amidst the legacy of colonial silences. Multiply voiced and imbued with complex storytelling, ZOM-FAM showcases a fluid narrative that summons ancestral voices, femme tongues, broken colonial languages, and a tender queer subjectivity, all of which grapple with the legacy of plantation servitude.
Emerging from a creative process in spoken word and live performance, these poems transform the page into a stage where the queer femme body is written and mapped onto the colonial space of the home/island. Interwoven with Kreol, ZOM-FAM showcases a unique lyrical sensibility, a musicality influenced by the both unforgiving and soothing rhythms of the ocean, where the poet enunciates the complexity of their displaced Indo-African roots, “the lineage of silence / that we weave in-between our intimacies.”
Striking, vivid, tender, intimate, and political, ZOM-FAM is a beautifully wrought journey that articulates a contemporary decolonial poetics and offers a roadmap for colonized and displaced queer and trans voices to (re)imagine themselves into being.
Mod opinion: I haven't heard of this poetry collection before, but it sounds interesting.

Our post in celebrating Transgender Awareness Week highlights self-portraits by Kama La Mackerel (they/them).
La Mackerel is non-binary and multidisciplinary artist from Mauritius. Their work is grounded in the exploration of justice, love, healing, decolonization, and self- and collective empowerment.
“Their series entitled ‘Breaking the Promise of Tropical Emptiness: Trans Subjectivity in the Postcard’ strongly and humorously redefines the typical aesthetic of postcards from Mauritius, more often than not reduced to the demonstration of luxuriant exoticism, presenting lush, sunny and wild landscapes that bear no trace of civilization.”
La Mackrel’s works are included in Transgalactic: photography, genre, transition. The front cover image for the publication features a self-portrait by Juliana Huxtable, an African American writer, performer, and DJ. “Her work is inspired by comic and Afrofuturist mythologies. Huxtable reinvents the art of the self-portrait to compose avatars in which her own image hybridizes with all kinds of creatures, from the animal to the digital, in order to evoke the infinite fluidity of her own gender identity.”
Artists featured in Transgalactic: photography, genre, transition explore a possible panorama of the role played by photography in the construction of their (trans) gender.
We’re celebrating Trans Joy this week!
Transgalactic : photography, genre, transition
[Villejuif] : The eyes publishing, 2020.

expo 1
La première exposition que je suis allé voir s’appelle “de la terre''. C’est une exposition de momenta. C’est une exposition de groupe, qui contient: Carolina Caycedo, Taloi Havini, Tsēmā Igharas, Kama La Mackerel, Erin Sindall, Miriam Simun et Eve Tagny. Leur exposition dure du 8 septembre au 24 octobre aux galeries de l’UQAM. C’était une exposition très intéressante qui contient beaucoup de trucs en rapport avec la terre. L’œuvre que j’ai aimé est « a wet chemical trace » qui a été faite en 2017 par Miriam Simun. C’est une œuvre qui au premier abord peut sembler très spéciale comme si quelqu’un faisait de la drogue, mais ce n’est pas du tout le cas. C’est lorsqu’on lit l’explication de l’œuvre qu’on comprend que dans les fioles chauffées, il y a un parfum que l’homme ne peut pas sentir et qui vient d’une plante rare. La couleur chaude donc était tapissée la pièce rajoutait du mystère là où il y en avait déjà. Ce sont des fleurs rares qui sont utilisées. Elles sont même en voie de disparition, comme certains animaux. Une autre affaire spéciale avec cette œuvre c’est qu’avec toutes les bouteilles qu’elle a mise, elle a réussi à rendre ce parfum invisible visible. Comme je l’ai dit plutôt, les bouteilles étaient mises de façon à donner l’impression d’un laboratoire de drogue, ce qui était aidé par la fumée qui sortait de chacune des fioles. C’est d’ailleurs cette fumée qui était le parfum distillé de ses fleurs qui faisait qu’on sentait le parfum. Comme dit aussi plus haut, la couleur donnait quelques choses d’encore plus intéressant à ce paysage déjà spécial. Dans cette exposition, comme tout était sur la terre, tous les artistes avaient un moyen de s’exprimer avec cette matière. Certains parlaient des mines et de toute la pollution que cela faisait, d’autres des roses qui ont été déménagées dans d’autres pays. Ce que je veux dire par cela, c’est que les gens d'autres pays (les occidentaux) ont pris les roses qui faisaient partie d'autres pays pour les mettre dans leur tradition et leur pays. Ses fleurs ont perdu leur image dans certains pays et dans d’autres elles sont devenues bien plus importantes. Il y avait aussi un autre des artistes qui reprenait les images de cartes postales, mais s’affichait dessus. Il faisait cela pour parler des images de cartes postales qui ne contiennent personne déçu, pas même les personnes qui vivent dans ses pays.
