(Dis) identifications

This one-day event invites a collective exploration of the role of gender and sexual identifications in contemporary art practices. Identity, identification and dis-identification are approached as evolving concepts and embodied practices, foregrounding the indivisibility of body and mind, the material and the virtual. Taking gender critical thought, activism and creative practices as starting points, the symposium will showcase contributions from artists, curators, and writers from either theoretical or practice-led perspectives. In partnership with Middlesex University.
