VISUAL CULTURES GUEST LECTURE SERIES 28 May 2009 BIRD LA BIRD: Exploding Queer Femininities This lecture will feature ideas and documentation of Bird Club, an arts cabaret event featuring feminist strippers on roller skates, political parody, pomo queer burlesque, sloganeering, brainwashing, film, interactive performance and stand up comedy. Bird favours collaborative ways of working and likes to bring creative people together to support, challenge and amuse. Bird Club have also created their own peerage system as an antidote to the lack of recognition queer women receive. BIRD LA BIRD: Bird la Bird is an artist who makes performance, graphic designs, music, costumes, and street parties. She turned her back on the market-driven art world to join the circus and has never looked back. 5pm in the RHB Cinema ALL WELCOME Dr Gavin Butt Senior Lecturer & Programme Leader in MPhil / PhD Visual Cultures Co-Director 'Performance Matters' AHRC Research Project Department of Visual Cultures Goldsmiths, University of London Lewisham Way New Cross London SE14 6NW 020 7919 7573 [log in to unmask] http://www.goldsmiths.ac.uk/visual-cultures/performance-matters.php http://www.goldsmiths.ac.uk/visual-cultures/g-butt.php _______________ Dr Cuneyt Cakirlar Post-doctoral Research Fellow UCL Mellon Programme University College London Gower Street London WC1E 6BT +44 (0) 20 7679 7458 E-mail: [log in to unmask] Web: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/mellon-program/fellows/cuneyt/
