Скачать или смотреть ‘Temporary Fabulous Zones’: Che Gossett and Wu Tsang in conversation

Artist Wu Tsang joins writer and critical theorist Che Gossett for this online event. Over the last decade, Tsang’s award-winning work in film, performance, and sculpture has engaged marginalised histories and narratives and interrogated regimes of visibility and visuality, particularly with regard to processes of gendering and racialisation. Gossett specialises in queer and trans studies, abolitionist thought, and black study, considering these in relation to contemporary art practices. This event brings Tsang and Gossett together in a critical discussion of art, visibility, black and trans poetics, collaboration, and more.
