‘Queer Traces’
11am (BST) 9th June 2021
This panel brings together two international queer artists, Coco Guzman and Maurice Moore, whose practices centre around the traces of lives, bodies and experiences. Guzman is a Spanish-Canadian artist (Universidad Politécnica de Valencia), using drawing to convey experiences of haunting and systematic violence. Their paper gives an overview of two projects that used drawing to investigate traces in queer archives, one in Mexico City at the trans cultural centre Centro Borders, and the other at Eastern Edge Gallery in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. Moore’s (University of California-Davis) work explores how Black queer people have employed modes of performance as a survival strategy. They use their own body as a ‘living drawing’ to makes traces across surface, time and space. Moore will explore how Black performance serves as a mode of active radical resistance, drawing upon traditions of ‘throwing shade’ and African-American Vernacular English. The session will be chaired by Daniel Fountain, practice-led doctoral researcher at Loughborough University.
