As a neurodivergent and queer performer, their artistic and activist practice joins movement, music and drag, an amalgamation that led to Lovis’ thesis project called «un//masking the performing arts». The thesis, consisting of a four-part zine collection and a «glossary attempt», as Lovis puts it, is the result of a collective investigation into (un)masking practices for neuroqueer performing artists. In conversation with Diversity Spotlight host Smilla Diener, Lovis speaks about guiding collective workshops, searching for a vocabulary to transport a neuroqueer performer’s experience, and the process of claiming a methodology as an artist.</p><p>–</p><p>Lovis Heuss schloss im Sommer 2025 den Master in Transdisziplinären Studien ab. Als neurodivergente*r und queere*r Performer*in verbindet Lovis’ künstlerische und aktivistische Praxis Bewegung, Musik und Drag, eine Verschmelzung, die in Lovis’ Thesis mit dem Titel «un//masking the performing arts» mündete. Die Abschlussarbeit, bestehend aus einer vierteiligen Zine-Sammlung und einem „Glossarversuch”, wie Lovis es nennt, ist das Ergebnis einer kollektiven Untersuchung von (un)masking-Praktiken für neuroqueere Performer*innen. Im Gespräch mit Smilla Diener, Host von Diversity Spotlight, spricht Lovis über kollektive Workshops; Vokabular, das Erfahrungen neuroqueerer Performer*innen vermittelt, und was es bedeutet, als Künstler*in eine Methodik zu entwickeln.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Links:</p><p>Find Lovis’ Zines and Glossary Attempt here: <a href=\"https://www.zhdk.ch/studienprojekt/c485fb6a-b061-4067-b856-96cdb6ec82ec\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.zhdk.ch/studienprojekt/c485fb6a-b061-4067-b856-96cdb6ec82ec</a></p><p>Contact Lovis to be added to the mailing list for further workshops or contributions to their «sCRIPTs» collection: <a href=\"mailto:lovislovislovis@posteo.de\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">lovislovislovis@posteo.de</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href=\"http://formingdiversity.zhdk.ch/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">formingdiversity.zhdk.ch</a></p><p><a href=\"http://zhdk.ch/en/aboutus/equal-opportunities-and-diversity-office-669\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">zhdk.ch/en/aboutus/equal-opportunities-and-diversity-office-669</a></p><p><a href=\"http://intern.zhdk.ch/?gleichstellung/diversity#englishversion\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">intern.zhdk.ch/?gleichstellung/diversity#englishversion</a>&nbsp;</p><p>–</p><p>Production: Fachstelle Gleichstellung &amp; Diversity / Office for Equal Opportunities &amp; Diversity, ZHdK</p><p>Concept and Realisation: Smilla Diener</p>","author_name":"ZHdK Podcast"}
