#gender #ShuzoOshimi #manhood • Content warnings for: Discussions of trauma and sexuality • If you’re anything like me living in North America, you’ve been taught to filter that world into two boxes; men and women but trying to draw a clean line between them is impossible. Many have tried. All have failed. This imposed division creates a tension between how many people experience themselves and how they are taught to think about the world. That tension is also reflected in the work of manga artist Shuzo Oshimi whose 20+ year long career connects his evolving questions on gender, masculinity and manhood. • Somewhere in production, I realized the Venn diagram between Welcome Back Alice and The Barbie movie is almost a circle. • The Manben NEO episode interviewing Shuzo Oshimi: https://www.naokiurasawa.com/shuzo-os... • 🎥: pixabay • 🎨: irasutoya • 🎶: Stay On Your Mind by Khaim via Dova Syndrome • 🎶: se-no-bi by Noru via Dova Syndrome • 🎶: polar star by kodatsuno via Dova Syndrome • 🎶: Withered Sepia by shimtone via Dova Syndrome • 🎶: 午後の回廊 written by のる via Dova Syndrome • New model art is by: @artifexdemon • Works cited: • Bennett, M., Sani, F., Hopkins, N., Agostini, L., Malucchi, L.
