ICA is closed from the 30 May – 3 June inclusive.
Eliel Jones leads a discursive session extending from the themes of the exhibition that will explore the practice of hosting as a queer, artistic and curatorial method. This lecture-performance and reading invites participants to collectively consider the interconnectedness of pleasure, community building and resistance, including through the work of Wielebinski and other artists and writers such as Samuel R. Delany, Gayle Rubin, Terre Thaemlitz (aka DJ Sprinkles), Adam Farah-Saad and Ian White. Together the session will reflect on the possibilities of inherently-queer hosting practices – such as cruising or the radical cultures of gay bars and clubs – and their potential danger of being diluted or to disappear as a result of social, economic and political hostilities.
Red Members gain unlimited access to all exhibitions, films, talks, performances and Cinema 3.
