How do ideas, cultures and ways of living ‘move’ across generations in queer contexts? How do queer people’s positions outside of mainstream forms of biological (nuclear family) and cultural (schooling, history, heritage) reproduction affect this movement? Moreover, how do multiple forms of marginalization due to race and ethnicity shape this ‘passing on’ of information and history? This event brings together an intergenerational panel of speakers from academia and the arts in order to explore these questions via the lens of the recent book Desi Queers (2025).
Speakers are: Ibtisam Ahmed (House of Spice performance collective), Rohit Dasgupta (LSE), Sunil Gupta (Photographer), Churnjeet Mahn (Strathclyde).
This event is sponsored by CIDRAL and forms part of its Im/mobilities series of events.
