Conference on Disabilities, Arts and Sexualities
Date: 11th to 13th March
Venue: Online
This conference will explore the intersections between disabilities, arts and sexualities from an interdisciplinary and multimedia perspective. Fundamentally, the question of desire/s is at the heart of this exploration. In Sex and Disability (2012), Anna Mollow and Robert McRuer state, “rarely are disabled people regarded as either desiring subjects or objects of desire”. In this conference, the organisers shall redress the balance of this stigmatised presumption and look to the many ways that people with disabilities experience and express sexualities through art. This conference shall also explore how the arts provide a platform to represent disabilities in a way that differs from the day-to-day legal and official discourses, such as politics, sociology, or narratives of equality and human rights.
These topics shall be explored under the following themes:
- Sex, Art, Disabilities and the Body
- Sex, Art, Disabilities - Orientations and Affects
- Disabilities, Subjectivities and Sexualities
- Posthumanism, Sexualities and the Arts
- Queer Art, Sexualities and Disabilities
You can register for this conference here. For more details please visit the website for the conference.
LGBT Asylum Seekers Conference
Date: 9th - 10th April 2021
Venue: Online Event
At the end of 2019, there were approximately 4.2 million people around the world waiting for a decision on their asylum claims (UNHCR). Amongst them is a particularly vulnerable group: LGBTQI+ people: sons, daughters, parents, partners and lovers, with horrendous histories of imprisonment, bodily harm, torture, and psychological trauma.These atrocities are inflicted on them by their own governments, countrymen, and, worst of all, friends and families.
This conference aims to discuss the situation of LGBTQI+ asylum seekers and refugees who have committed no crime, yet cannot live freely in their own countries due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.
To attend this conference you can register here.
