LOCATIONS—(in)visible symposium

With Ming Wong, Sam Hultin, Tore Hallas, Vala T. Foltyn, Sandy Harry Ceesay and a film screening of Wu Tsang’s Wildness.

In conjunction with the exhibition (in)visible: abstractions and fragments of queerness, Malmö Konstmuseum will host a symposium on Friday, December 10, 2021 curated and organised by Tawanda Appiah and Jari Malta. The symposium presents a moment for knowledges, practices, embodiment and conviviality. It is built upon the conviction that art history, theory and research can be reclaimed as places for revolt and sensuality.

LOCATIONS as in sites of queerness through geographies, language and time. LOCATIONS as in the soft landing of words onto the body creating a sensory nuisance.

The symposium includes presentations and interventions by artists Sam Hultin, Tore Hallas, Vala T. Foltyn and Ming Wong; a talk on art collections and methods by the curators of the exhibition (Tawanda Appiah, Sofia Landström, Jari Malta, Sara Rydby and Jonelle Twum); a dance performance by Sandy Harry Ceesay and a film screening of Wu Tsang’s Wildness at theatre Panora.

The event is free of charge but registration is required. Please see our homepage for more information and registration.
