Subversive affirmation is an artistic performance that overemphasizes prevailing ideologies and thereby calls them into question.[1][2][3] Simultaneously with affirmation, the affirmed concepts are revealed, and artists distance themselves from those concepts. Strategies of subversive affirmation include "over-identification", "over-affirmation" and "yes revolution".
