The 2654 Years project deals with the visibility of lesbian love and women. Women who love women still do not receive sufficient attention in 2024. The history of homosexuals is often told with a focus on the struggle and rights of gay men. Thus, the project represents both a feminist moment and visibility within its own community.
The color spectrum, which includes pink and fuchsia, represents not only the dissolution of negative female connotations but also the flag of the lesbian movement. Another form of representation is glitter. In the LGBTQIA+ community, glitter is often used as a means of expression. Glitter is also frequently used in various protests. In the context of femininity in general, glitter, like pink or rose, has a negative connotation and is not perceived as a means of protest, but rather trivialized.
In order to break with this attribution and continue the protest, 2654 Years of Glitter uses glitter as a stylistic device, drawing attention to the issue. In addition to the protest slogans, 2654 years are depicted. These allude to a new „era“. Around 630 BC, the ancient Greek poet Sappho stood at the beginning of lesbian visibility.
Over the millennia of male-dominated historiography, however, FLINTA* people were repeatedly written out of it and received no attention. Thus, the last animation shows the year according to Sapphic historiography.
