In their own words, the text is, “the work of ANON. We are a collective of ‘Other.’ Some of us are sex workers, some immigrants, many of us queer. There are even a few privileged white cucks amongst us. Never the less, ANON is largely the work and brainchild of people of color (PoC).

Gideon Boie is an architect and philosopher and a founder of the BAVO collective. He lectures on the ethics and theory of architecture at the Faculty of Architecture of KU Leuven in Brussels, and his work focuses on the political dimension of art and architecture.
