Description
Conflicts become perpetual realities in the lives of those displaced, exiled, racialized, minoritized, queer and trans across different borders, societies, times and spaces. From private to public, personal to political, relationship with intimacies; love, kinship, desire and death become a constant negotiation. Those who are exiled, refugees, diasporas, asylum seekers, minoritized, queer and trans live in a state of relentless struggles with the state, home, and exiles for life, survival and intimate moments in between. What are these conflicts? What do we mean by queer? How is queer embedded within the experiences of displacement and diasporas? What are these intimacies? How do minoritized individuals across different borders and boundaries experience ‘intimate conflicts’? The artists, activists and scholars on this roundtable will shares their poetry, art work, narratives and scholarships exploring these inquiries through an intimate, collective, queer and feminist conversation.
