Symposium with Åsa Johannesson: What is a Queer Methodology?

Join us for a dynamic symposium exploring the significance of the term ‘queer’ as a methodology in contemporary art practice.

Presented in Stills gallery, this event brings together artists and researchers from the Queer Materialities Research Network at Glasgow School of Art, who will share papers reflecting on their practices in response to Åsa Johannesson’s exhibition The Queering of Photography.

Together, the speakers will examine how the (im)material, technical, poetic, philosophical and performative aspects of studio practice can inform conceptual ambitions in queer art. In other words, how can ‘queer’ be employed as a perspective, approach, or method, rather than solely as the subject of investigation?

Speakers: Nicky Coutts, Laura Guy, Brooke Hailey Hoffert, Jane Topping, Michelle Hannah

The event concludes with the launch of the new paperback edition of Åsa Johannesson’s - an opportunity to continue the conversation and view the exhibition.
