In it, naveed recreates a transformation scene from the anime Kamikaze Kait\u014d Jeanne, in which a teenage girl turns into the Catholic saint Joan of Arc with the help of a magical rosary and her angelic assistant. Drawn from the artist&#8217;s childhood fascination with this scene, the project revisits it through a trans perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Informed by naveed&#8217;s lived experience, the work examines the place of Catholicism in Poland: how it has long shaped the nation&#8217;s self-image and, through regressive legislation, controlled women&#8217;s and queer bodies. For the artist, religion operates less as a belief than as a laborious manual: transmitted, disciplined, and rehearsed until it becomes ingrained. In that logic, being Polish meant being Catholic, and being Catholic meant being a straight man.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Against the backdrop of this inheritance, the project treats transformation as an instruction \u2014 one that can be mis_read, interrupted, rewritten, and resisted. By reworking the Catholic symbolism of Kamikaze Kait\u014d Jeanne and restaging it through a trans body, naveed interrupts these encoded rules and drafts a new manual: one that turns from obediently following rules toward enfranchising authorship.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
