「身體就是家，但前提是我們要明白，身體從來都不是單一的，而是被其他無數個身體所困擾、鞏固和強調的。」——Eli Clare，《流亡與驕傲：障礙、酷兒與解放》

今年香港逸東酒店的驕傲月活動以「擁抱圓缺 Eclipsed Bodies, Embraced Pride」為主題，以「星體圓缺」這種天文現象為靈感，反映性/別小眾及身心障礙社群被順性別異性戀霸權及健全主義所遮蔽的身體和生活經驗，挑戰主流社會上對完美和殘缺的身體二元分類，走出社會建構的陰影，顯露自身耀眼的光芒。是次驕傲月將連結LGBTQ＋ 與身心障礙社群，共同面對彼此社群發展的挑戰，關注社群不同安康和福祉的議題，以社群創革、藝術創作、學術研究去除對酷兒、跨性別、受障者、殘疾（crip）、瘋狂（mad）等刻板印象，重新想像美好生活的過去、現在與未來。 

“The body as home, but only if it is understood that bodies are never singular, but rather haunted, strengthened, underscored by countless other bodies.” --- Eli Clare, Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation

The theme of Eaton HK’s annual Pride Month this year is "Eclipsed Bodies, Embraced Pride", a title that draws inspiration from the celestial phenomenon of eclipses. Our programming aims to illuminate the experiences of our LGBTQ+ and disability communities, whose narratives and contributions are often overshadowed and undermined by cis-heteronormative and ableist values and views.

“Eclipsed Bodies, Embraced Pride” seeks to foster connections between the LGBTQ+ and disability communities, inviting them to jointly address the challenges they face in their daily lives. We invite everyone to challenge the binary classification of bodies as perfect or imperfect, normal or abnormal, and to dismantle stereotypes associated with the labels “queer”, “trans”, “disabled”, “crip”, “mad” and with other marginalized identities. Through community innovation, artistic creation, and academic research, we strive to reimagine a more inclusive past, present, and future, where everyone can lead authentic and fulfilling lives.
