Outcomes of the series We live in a Society exhibited in the niches of the Galerie Kontext focused on the possibilities of increasing the reach of topics that are quite fundamental for a part of society and yet marginalised. We are living in a postindustrial world of immaterial labor and I am Immaterial Girl.

Keep on Serving Cvmmunism: Serve is a term used when someone’s ideology is on point. Many people use “cvm"instead of “cum” as a word on TikTok, so their comment wouldn't be censored. Serving cvmmunism takes everything to the next level. It’s proletariat power. Bold. To the point. And overall extravagant. Any gender is able to serve cvmmunism. It’s a mindset.

The final part of the We Are Living in Society series replaces the Kens of the alt-right aesthetic with icons of local Barbieland. The appropriation of nationalist symbolism is not only aimed at straightforwardly supporting an emancipatory message but also questions whether the virtue signaling within equality movements can be charged with the same ammunition as toxic hypermasculinity.
