This block seminar coincides with the Terra Symposium and takes place over four days, three of which are in person, one of which is virtual. In this seminar, we survey the state of research by reading and meeting with theorists and practitioners as well as approximate local histories by visiting special collections and taking inventory of archives and resources. The first day will be devoted to student presentations on new queer art theory. The second day we will visit the archive and participate in the workshop titled “Introduction to Archive Work” at the Schwules Museum and then see their current exhibition. The third day will consist of Terra Symposium. The fourth and final day will be dedicated to student Research Presentations and workshopping of papers. A large part of the content will be determined by student interests. In principle, we engage with queer art practices of the Americas (North + Central + South America + the Caribbean) which challenge heteronormative, cis, settler colonialist, Western, and patriarchal frameworks of bodies, histories, and ideas. Using tools from queer theory, Latin American and Latinx studies, women's, gender, and sexuality studies, critical race studies, as well as media and visual culture studies; we discuss works of performance art, craft, and conceptual practices. Please write Student Assistant: Emma Gerritsen beeg99@zedat.fu-berlin.de with questions.
