PANEL DISCUSSION
The Queer Body as Archive - in the context of Dortmund Goes Black Festival
Saturday, 14 May, 6 pm
Dortmunder Schauspiel, Institut, 6 - 7:30 PM
Panel: The Queer Body as Archive
moderation: Magnus Elias Rosengarten (artist & writer, Berlin)
with: Michael Götting (writer & curator, Berlin), Janice Mitchell (curator, Cologne) and James Gregory Atkinson (artist, Frankfurt)
with German sign language interpretation
This panel questions and deconstructs the concept of archive and examines it from BPoC and queer perspectives. The intention is to discuss and illuminate what other concepts for archive exist and how fundamental they are to the panelists' respective work and expertise. The conversation will be conducted in German and will take place in reference to James Gregory Atkinson's solo exhibition 6 Friedberg-Chicago, in which the artist also created a space for an intergenerational and intersectional archive. The exhibition was on view at the Dortmunder Kunstverein from December 11, 2021 - March 13, 2022.
