TBA:13 CONVERSATION

Reading is Fundamental

A CRITICAL MASCARA Discussion Group

A gathering and discussion about queer performance, art, and culture.
A casual and curious space for exploration of history and lineage.
A group experiment in dialogue and community.

Curious about REALNESS? What about POST-REALNESS? Appropriation? Why is Paris Is Burning SO HOT RIGHT NOW? AND MORE! Join us for a weekly artist presentation and discussion. We will be self-directed and collectively minded while exploring the text and ideas proposed by the moderator and by the group.

Our initial texts will be:
"Gender is Burning" by Judith Butler
"Is Paris Burning?" by bell hooks
"Who's Doin The Twist? Notes Towards a Politics of Appropriation" by Coco Fusco
