Second Opening of the ICGP

Join us for the Second Opening of the International Research Center Gender and Performativity (ICGP) at mdw, December 10–12! Following the successful launch of ICGP this summer, we are delighted to continue our discussions with new perspectives from across the research community. The event focuses on dragging, racialization, and today’s political challenges in diverse geographical, historical, and performative contexts, including:

Dec. 10: Evelyn Annuß’s Inaugural Lecture Dirty Dragging. Gender, ‘Race’, and Transgression;

Dec. 11: International Symposium featuring renowned scholars, performance artists, and filmmakers from around the world, as well as a book launch presenting the first ICGP publications;

Dec. 12: International Round Table on complicity and critique in academia paired with an Artistic Research Screening on Filmic Solidarities.

We look forward to welcoming nora chipaumire, Eitan Efrat, Sam Ehrentraut, Zimitri Erasmus, Isabel Frey, Sirah Foighel Brutman, Susanne Lettow, Eric Lott, Tatjana Nikolić, Clarissa Thieme & Raz Weiner.

We warmly invite students, researchers, artists, and anyone else who is interested to attend. For organizational reasons, we ask you to register at: icgp@mdw.ac.at.
