Feminist Technics, Queer Machines: Inventing Better Futures

Friday, November 7, 2014

The Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies (IGSF) is pleased to present Feminist Technics, Queer Machines: Inventing Better Futures. The conference contemplates the intersecting, hopeful, and dystopian imaginaries of current futurisms, with a particular focus on its queer and feminist trajectories. Blending academic and artistic practice, the day's events will include three panel discussions highlighting ɬ﷬ graduate students and other researchers on the topics of decolonizing the future, technology and futurism, and futures of the mediated body. The conference will feature a keynote lecture on feminism and afro-futurism by Chicago-based author Ytasha Womack.

The conference is associated with The HTMlles 11 “ZER0 FUTURE” feminist festival of media arts + digital culture, produced by Studio XX held November 7-15 in Montreal, Canada. The HTMlles is an international platform dedicated to the presentation of women’s, trans and gender non-conforming artists’ independent media artworks in a transdisciplinary environment that strives for anti-oppression.
