ABOUT

Kuntenserven Incorporated is a comradely publishing press, which aims to question and critique contemporary (fashion) design paradigms through embodiments of, experimental publishing on, and collaborative explorations of queer subjectivity. Initiated in 2023 by critical fashion practitioners Tjerre Lucas Bijker and Chet Julius Bugter, Kuntenserven Inc. positions itself as a critical research praxis, engaging contemporary reflections on queerness while drawing from the knowledge of queer predecessors. Moving across several publishing formats, it seeks to pass on knowledge and lived experience, melding and transcending the personal, the public, and the political.

Operating from an oppositional standpoint, Kuntenserven Inc. actively aims to counteract oppressive socio-political hegemonies in (fashion) design and connected fields, perceiving queerness as a carnal response to and an embodied critique of such regulatory structures. Queerness' subversive power holds a central position within Kuntenserven Inc., valuing queerness as a diverse, multifaceted carnal embodiment, providing a space for more-than-one lived experiences.
