TRANSITIONING
Art, Politics & Technologies of Gender Change
Disruption Network Lab Conference, June 17–19 2022
Kunstquartier Bethanien, Berlin
https://www.disruptionlab.org/transitioning
On June 17–19, the LGBTQI+ conference TRANSITIONING: Art, Politics &
Technologies of Gender Change will take place at Kunstquartier
Bethanien. The 27th conference of the Berlin Disruption Network Lab is
dedicated to the dimensions of gender transitioning from the
perspectives of politics, medicine, technology, culture and art. Over
three days, experts, activists and artists from Europe, Asia and the USA
will network with the Berlin community in panels, keynotes, workshops,
film screenings and meetups.
Gender transitioning is the process of changing one's gender identity
and/or sexuality. It is a very private, personal and individual process
that involves a profound engagement with community and society as a
whole. It is a topic of high cultural and social interest
internationally and is increasingly being discussed in Germany. As more
and more young people experiment with this practice from puberty
onwards, this debate is becoming central to the future of civil society.
The Disruption Network Lab's programme TRANSITIONING: Politics &
Technologies of Gender Change aims to address the complexities of gender
transition for both young people and those who have long fought for this
right, and to present the implications of this practice in the realms of
art, culture, society and human rights. The programme series includes a
conference, film screenings, a community meet-up and two community
workshops.
The conference includes a performative talk on legacies of violence in
times of conflict by Drew Pham, a queer, transgender writer of
Vietnamese heritage and U.S. military veteran, who reckons with the
consequences of American wars in Afghanistan and Vietnam; Ukrainian
transgender activist Anastasiia Yeva Domani will discuss the current
worsening of medical care for trans people in Ukraine as well as the
human rights situation and especially the problem of trans women leaving
the country; gender, tech and (counter)power researcher Os Keyes, who
will speak about the politics of scientific research into trans
healthcare; Berlin performer Bridge Markland who will cross gender
boundaries exploring the artistic potential of transitioning through
role-play and transformation.
The programme will be opened and followed by film screenings of the work
of artist Diane Torr (1948-2017), a central force in the drag king scene
in the USA, Europe, Istanbul and New Delhi.
