We have released video documentation of the symposium Power, Subcultures & Queer Stages on YouTube.
Examining the relationship between sexual identity and style, camp and spectacle, cultural appropriation and genderfuck, live art and activism, the symposium aimed at looking at the contemporary history of queer visibility and invisibility in public spaces, as well as current queer live art, club culture and drag performance. The symposium took place at Queen Mary University on 27 April 2017. Page of the event and more information here.
