Queer Curation and Aesthetic Practices
Thu 10 February 2022
Faculty of Classics
In Unruly Visions: The Aesthetic Practices of Queer Diaspora (2018) Gayatri Gopinath examines a range of contemporary visual practices to understand the relationship between queer diaspora and visuality. She demonstrates how the process of queer curation allows for new intimacies and archives to form. The work of photographer Sunil Gupta (b. New Delhi 1953) epitomizes this practice of curation. By making gay bodies visible, Gupta’s work brings the intersection of the political and personal and the public and private to the fore.
This conversation between Gopinath and Gupta will seek to understand the stakes of creating and interpreting archives of the contemporary queer diaspora.
Organised by the CVC and hosted at the Faculty of Classics.
Followed by a drinks reception at the Museum of Classical Archaeology.
