International Workshop: Queering the Boundaries of the Arts in the Sinosphere

Description

How are “queer” art and visual culture situated in the contemporary Sinosphere? What are the latest questions posed by Sinophone cultural producers in the fields of queer artmaking, curating and academic writing?

Our workshop aims to investigate the contact zones in which Sinophone queer artists, writers, curators, and cultural activists meet, cooperate, and occasionally conflict with each other. Besides, we will examine the intersectional layers of time and spaces, which shape heterogeneous representations of queerness in the Sinosphere. Moreover, we hope to establish a sustainable network that will amplify non-binary voices, by bringing together internationally-established and emerging Sinophone queering artists, activists, curators, and scholars in these fields.
