Amazônia EcoQueer: Cuir ecologies and artists’ moving image in the Brazilian Amazon

The Ledger Studio (University of Atypical) · Talks & books · LGBTQ+ · Outburst Festival

How have LGBTQIAPN+* moving image artists from the Brazilian Amazon been imagining queer ecological futures for the region? In this timely and vital talk, queer researcher and curator Danilo Baraúna presents the key ideas of the Amazônia EcoQueer project and contextualises Amazonian queer and trans artists' moving image within Latin American cuir** ecologies. He examines how Amazonian cuir artists highlight local knowledge and history through a decolonial reimagining of spiritual beings and the development of a queer intimacy with Amazonian cities. 16+

Nat Reeve

Paperxclips · Talks & books · LGBTQ+ · Outburst Festival

One of the most beloved new queer fiction writers of recent years, Nat Reeve has been called “a breath of fresh air in historical fiction” for his subversive and playful queer ride through the Victorian era in Nettleblack (Cipher Press 2022), and again in the wonderful follow-up Earlyfate (Cipher Press 2024), which threw us us back into the same madcap Neo-Victorian world where queerness is a given and chaos is mandatory. We’re excited to welcome Nat to Outburst and to Paperxclips, to read from his work and talk about what’s possible when we brush the dust off history and see the past for the lively, exciting, queer place that it was. 16+
