What does it mean to be queer in the Caribbean?
We’re working with HKW, filmmaker Phil Collins and Jamaican organisation Beyond Homophobia as the local media partner for Desire Lines, a long-term public artwork challenging narratives around LGBTQIA+ issues in Jamaica, Trinidad, and beyond.
From an intersectional perspective, Desire Lines examines “the consequences of anti-colonial and emancipatory struggles on the LGBTQIA+ community in Jamaica”, and asks, “how homophobic are dancehall and reggae?”
At a special event on August 19-20 at HKW, a wide range of multi-disciplinary contributors will engage in talks, discussions, performances, screenings, radio broadcasts, informal interactions and a dancehall party.
Join us at Oona for the pre-event hangout on August 18th, and be sure to tune in to the shows we are broadcasting before and after the event.
