Open Call
Please submit to athensqueerperformance@gmail.com
Deadline: 15th of May 2019
​
We invite proposals for performances, lectures, performative lectures, workshops and video screenings that relate to the following:
​

• fluidity: gender, sexuality and performativity
• queer art of failure as criticism to the ultra-serious/existential narrative of an art history made of “men geniuses”
• trans narratives, history and futures
• feminism and new forms of education
• femininities: expression, performativities and visibility
• queer parenthood
• anti-hellenism: neoliberalism, greekness, national marches and macedonian halva
• black queer embodiment, resistance, afrofuturism
• fatness: feminisms, hyper/invisibility, excess
• theories of “health” and well-being and the mechanisms of pathologisation
• opportunist “queerometers” and thoughts on the reappropriation and institutionalisation of queer issues
• bdsm, taboo, (post)pornography
• towards a new resistance: queer communism and queer anarchy
• counter violence, high heel kicks and/or molotov cocktails
• internalised sexism
• games as a form of queer expression
• anti-art, over identification and subversive affirmation strategies against the new dystopian reality of post-truth
• the limits and shortcomings of queer and identity politics
• street (in)security and self-defense
• the crossroads between spectacle and political critique
• queer mourning and collective trauma
  
  *For the selected proposals from abroad we will organise solidarity accommodation lists and we will also suggest queer-friendly houses/spaces. The Athens Festival of Queer Performance is against the gentrification waves of AirBnb practices.
