FREDAG 2 SEPTEMBER, STOCKHOLM
Welcome to “Radical love: care as resistance”, a series of events that explore practices of care in queer and BIPOC artistic and activist communities.
“What does it mean for trans people to show up for one another, to care deeply for one another? How have failures of care shaped trans lives? What care practices have trans subjects and communities cultivated in the wake of widespread transphobia and systemic forms of trans exclusion?”
For the first event in the program “Radical love: care as resistance!” We are thrilled to have author and professor of Gender Studies HIL MALATINO setting the whole thing off with a talk based on his book Trans Care (2020).
Drawing on trans archival materials, Hil Malatino’s talk examines the strategies and tactics that trans communities have developed to resist medical gatekeeping, combat interpersonal and institutional transphobia, and provide mutual aid and collective care to one another. In a time of intensifying trans antagonism, it offers a lesson in what solidarity and transformative future visions of trans justice have looked like in the hopes that such a lesson might inform current struggles for trans bodily autonomy and just social transformation.
HIL MALATINO is the Sherwin Early Career Professor in the Rock Ethics Institute and assistant professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Philosophy at Penn State. He is the author of Side Affects: On Being Trans and Feeling Bad (Minnesota, 2022), Trans Care (Minnesota, 2020), which won the Publishing Triangle Award and was a Lambda Literary Award Finalist, and “Queer Embodiment: Monstrosity, Medical Violence, and Intersex Experience”. He is also co-editor (alongside Cam Awkward-Rich) of the t4t issue of Trans Studies Quarterly. His work has been published in Signs, Hypatia, TSQ, Rhizome, The New Inquiry, Ms. Magazine, and many other journals and edited volumes.
We can’t wait to see you there and share this space of care together.
Warmly welcome!
Radical love: care as resistance is curated and organised by producer/curator SAMUEL GIRMA, and artist SAM HULTIN for IASPIS.
