“Dissident Publics: Future Artefacts of Queer Methodologies” is a collective critical investigation. It is a co-creation project that aims at uncovering the social and spatial potentials of public space when seen from queer and intersectional feminist perspectives. We work in a transdisciplinary manner to collectively define tools and methods that reclaim agency over our social and constructed environments. Using speculative prototypes we formulate the possibility of futures where our queer identities, bodies, stories, and knowledge actively take part in the shaping of our environment. This is how we stand against the injustice and violence inherent in a cisheteronormative capitalist patriarchal regime.

Co-created with Léa Brami, Mahé Cordier-Jouanne, Lexie Owen, Liene Pavlovska, and Jan Trinh. Co-curated by Exutoire (Bui Quy Son and Paul-Antoine Lucas) and NOGOODS (Danja Burchard and Maike Statz).

Dissident Publics is supported by the Arts Council Norway (Kulturrådet), Nordisk Kulturfond, Bergen kommune, Vestland fylkeskommune, L’Institut français de Norvège, the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Riga, and the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Paris.
