Trying to represent and perform identity in your pursuit of interests and curiosities is a bit like trying to have a full conversation with a cat, like it understands human language. Nature might respond somewhat to aspects of identity but the performance is largely lost on it.

World viewed from X POV, where I am a member of group Y is interesting to me. As a straight white dude much of my identity is implicit. The culture is shaped around it so it’s invisible. Seeing it from another’s identity which must be more explicitly defined is interesting.

Not if Y is performing their identity 100% in generating that work. My assertion is that performance is a curiosity/interest blinding force. It’s only interesting if it is interested, ie if Y can break out of Y mode to look at world in ways X may not.
