The Tower of Babel is one of the many myths told in the Old Testament, its concept has been explored in numerous variations and similar myths in many ancient civilizations.
\n<\/span>However, the core facts remain the same in all these stories. In the christian version, human beings, still yet communicating with one singular common speech, build an enormous tower, a temple climbing toward the Heavens to prove humanity\u2019s incredible intelligence and talent.
\n<\/span>God, seeing this construction, takes offence and can\u2019t tolerate that humanity could reach Heaven on their own accord and without divine approval. So he decides to disperse humans throughout the Earth, separating their languages and hindering any communication that could lead to the progress of the endeavour; or, in other versions, deciding to simply destroy the tower.
\n<\/span>The Tower of Babel is a metaphor for queer bodies and for any non-conforming existence, a colossal feat of strength residing in a community that defies the status quo and patriarchal power. Hence the phrase \u201cIf this body is a temple, I\u2019ll be Babel's Tower\u201d, a symbol of nonconformism, rebellion and radicalization against all oppressed bodies, especially female and trans* bodies, endless prisoners and subordinates in a cishet and capitalist society.
\n<\/span>Though my wish is to continue this \u201cTower\u201d even if we\u2019re divided and far from our communities. Queer people learned from their hardships and our strength resides in the community that embraces us. \nWe will always speak \u201cthe same language\u201d, united and firm against \u201cdivine will\u201d .<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":16580,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-16477","opera","type-opera","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBabele - VamGallery.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vamgallery.com\/en\/opera\/babele\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Babele - VamGallery.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"La Torre di Babele \u00e8 uno dei numerosi miti biblici dell’antico testamento, il suo concetto \u00e8 stato esplorato in numerose versioni e miti simili da varie civilt\u00e0 antiche.
