Cartographies of affect - in the queer and now
A 10-day festival attended by more than 40 artists, tracing narratives of queer history and (contemporary) resistance with the aim of creating transnational solidarity. The aim of the festival was to collect experiences and practices from different cultures living in Berlin and the “Global South”, while introducing the idea of intersectionality and showing how different forms of identification create synergies.
