ICGP – Second Opening: International Symposium

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. The program includes Evelyn Annuß’s Inaugural Lecture on Dirty Dragging (Dec 10); an International Symposium featuring renowned scholars, performance artists, and filmmakers from around the world, as well as a book launch presenting the first ICGP publications; and an International Round Table on complicity and critique in academia paired with an Artistic Research Screening on Filmic Solidarities.
