ISSG Theory Salon: Gays and Girls Make Worlds - Queer of Color Worldmaking

ISSG Theory Salons feature new scholarship within gender and sexuality studies. Attendees will hear about a visiting scholar's work, read a work-in-progress, and engage in interdisciplinary discussion.

Gays and Girls Make Worlds traces disenfranchised cultural workers’ use of photography, narration, performance, and collectivity to bring new realities into existence, through archival work with a South African apartheid-era collection of photographs depicting the classified-“Coloured,” self-described gays and girls of Cape Town’s lost District Six.

A chapter of this work-in-progress will be circulated before the event.
