The exhibition, conference, and workshops operate at the intersection of politics, aesthetics, and futurity, focusing on: identity and belonging beyond the nation-state; survival strategies within hostile or exclusionary systems; counter-histories and insurgent politics (e.g., travesti uprisings, labor struggles); colonial and imperial histories, migration and displacement, racialized and securitized political systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
