SUMMARY:From Engaging in Public Scholarship to Digital Queers: Information Activism Past and Present
DESCRIPTION:Public scholarship—sharing research with audiences outside of academic settings—has become increasingly necessary to counter the rise of misinformation\, fill gaps from cuts to traditional media\, and increase the reach of important scholarship. Engaging in these efforts often comes with the risk of harassment and threats—especially for women\, people of color\, LGBTQ+ communities\, and precariously employed workers. This presentation\, based on Ketchum’s book Engage in Public Scholarship (Concordia University Press 2022) and her current project “Digital Queers and High Tech Gays: A History of LGBTQ+ Cyber Activism” (under contract with MIT Press) first provides constructive guidance on how to translate research into inclusive public outreach while ensuring that such efforts are safer and more accessible. The beginning of the presentation will discuss practices and planning for a range of activities from in-person and online events\, to publishing and working with the media\, social media activity\, blogging\, podcasting\, cartoons\, and more. While distinct\, public scholarship can be part of a broader move towards information activism. During the second part of the presentation\, Ketchum will historically situate how vital the work of cyber activists engaging in information activism was for LGBTQ+ community organizations from 1980-2002. This presentation will be part workshop and part historical lecture. \nDr. Alex Ketchum (she/her) is an Assistant Professor at McGill University’s Institute for Gender\, Sexuality\, and Feminist Studies (IGSF). She is the Director of the Just Feminist Tech and Scholarship Lab. She is the author of several books including Engage in Public Scholarship!: A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication\, Ingredients for Revolution: A History of American Feminist Restaurants\, Cafes\, and Coffeehouses\, and the forthcoming “Digital Queers\, and High Tech Gays: A History of LGBTQ+ Cyber Activism.” She is also co-editor of the forthcoming anthology: Queers at the Table: An Illustrated Guide to Queer Food with Recipes\, which will be out in October with Arsenal Pulp Press.

SUMMARY:Exhibition | Her Rights: Money\, Power\, Autonomy
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition | Her Rights: Money\, Power\, Autonomy\nIf we are to accomplish the Sustainable Development Goals\, we need to empower women in the economy and close gender gaps. But progress is unacceptably slow. At the current rate\, it will take over 100 years to achieve global gender equality\, according to World Economic Forum. What could we do better\, and are there any successful examples to learn from? Visit the “Her Rights: Money\, Power\, Autonomy” exhibition between 8 March and 2 April 2024 to be inspired. \nJointly organised by the Consulate General of Sweden in Hong Kong\, HKU Libraries and the HKU Gender Studies programme\, the exhibition underlines the need for action in economic gender equality. By raising six interrelated themes\, the exhibition discusses challenges and opportunities connected to economic gender equality. With timelines\, it also tells the history of Sweden’s gender equality journey through progressive policy and reform\, legal efforts and a strong women’s movement. \nTo kick off the exhibition and to celebrate the International Women’s Day\, you are also invited to the launch event. Please see below the event details: \nDate: 8 March (Fri)\nTime: 12:30-13:30\nVenue: G/F\, Main Library \nContent: Welcome remarks\, student sharing\, launch ceremony; Swedish refreshments are served after the event \nNote: Seats are limited and are on a first-come-first-served basis. \nFor enquiries\, please write to lib111@hku.hk \n♦ Register for the launch event HERE ♦ \n

SUMMARY:Paris Is Burning | Film Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:  \nParis Is Burning\nFilm Screening and Panel Discussion\n♦ Abstract ♦ \nIn line with Black History Month\, Women’s Month\, and Transgender Day of Visibility\, CCHU9079 Queer Art\, Performance and Cities and CCHU9007 Sexuality and Gender: Diversity and Society are proud to screen this movie live with guest speakers to discuss the film’s impact and influence on today’s globalized society specially the LGBTQIA+ community. \n\n♦ About the Film ♦ \nParis Is Burning is a 1990 American documentary film directed by Jennie Livingston. Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s\, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American\, Latino\, gay\, and transgender communities involved in it. Critics consider the film an invaluable documentary of the end of the “Golden Age” of New York City drag balls and a thoughtful exploration of race\, class\, gender\, and sexuality in America. In 2016\, the Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being “culturally\, historically\, or aesthetically significant”. \n\n♦ Speakers ♦ \nJennie Livingston\, Director and writer of Paris Is Burning \nJennie Livingston is a groundbreaking filmmaker\, known for lively storytelling\, nuanced character portraits\, and thoughtful explorations of identity\, class\, race\, death\, sex\, and gender.  \n​In addition to directing and producing\, Jennie is a writer\, photographer\, draftsperson\, educator\, and director for hire. At heart\, Jennie’s work is about how people create and re-create ourselves\, about what allows us to survive and flourish. We are\, despite the social worlds we create that constrain us\, more mysterious\, more animal\, more complex\, more noble. Qualities Jennie values in storytelling: wonder\, complexity\, and an understanding of what creates and preserves resilience in communities and individuals. \nWorks as a writer/director include: Paris Is Burning; Who’s the Top?; Through the Ice; Hotheads. Television: consulting producer and director on PoseFX. Projections for live performance: Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters for Elton John. \nCurrently\, Jennie’s working on a first-person hybrid feature\, Earth Camp One about losing five family members in a decade\, about queer identity and queer resilience\, and about walking through the world (and surviving) by invoking the powers of looking and listening. Look and listen for it in 2024. (You’ll laugh\, and it will make you think about your own struggles and choices.) \nKier Joy\, United States Foreign Service Officer \nKier Joy is a United States Foreign Service Officer with experience serving in Brazil and Hong Kong. He joined the Foreign Service in June 2019. Before joining the Foreign Service\, Kier earned a Master of Public Administration from Columbia University. During his time studying\, he also interned as a policy fellow for the United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere\, Civilian Security\, Migration and International Economic Policy. Additionally\, he interned at the United States Embassy in Mexico City focusing on human rights. He also holds two bachelor degrees from the University of Georgia in political science and international affairs. \nLa Chiquitta\, Drag Artiste  \nBesides constantly entertaining the followers of Hong Kong nightlife\, La Chiquitta has also graced other stages\, including corporate shows\, private parties\, university lectures and out-of-town appearances. Also considered a regular fixture in the theatre circuit in Hong Kong\, she has essayed several theatrical roles\, the most notable of them\, being Solange in Jean Genet’s The Maids\, produced by RyeT Entertainment in cooperation with the American Community Theater. \nShe officially became Hong Kong’s first recording drag artist when she launched her single\, Tranny in The House\, produced by DJ Stonedog and released under Volume Up Records. It was later followed by Party Responsibly\, which topped the iTunes dance charts for a week after it was released. Having gained media mileage and traction\, she co-produced and presented a reality webseries\, Drag It On: Drag Queens in the Making. She later organised Drag Overdose\, the grand meet-up of professional\, budding\, and one-night-only drag queens of HK\, for the city’s Pink Season in 2011. Every year since then\, her little party has become one of the most anticipated events of the LGBTQ festival. \nIn September of 2012\, La Chiquitta launched her media career as the presenter of the weekly radio segment\, Chiquitta Time\, on RTHK3’s From Top to Bottom. This paved the way for her own radio show with the same station\, The Gaybourhood\, with co-host DJ Stonedog\, which premiered in September of 2013 and ran for two seasons. \nShe wrote a contribution to a coffee table book published in NYC\, was featured in a magazine in SG\, and appeared on TV for a special mini-docu in Manila. Her face constantly pops up in various magazines\, newspapers\, documentaries\, and recently\, as the subject for the locally-filmed music video for Give Me Light by UK-based artist\, Mind Enterprises. Portraits of her taken by prolific photographers\, Tsewhat-Tse (Yale School of Art)\, Laura Simonsen (HK)\, The Gaunts (HK) have been on exhibitions\, photo galleries and art fairs locally and in various places abroad\, the most notable of which\, “The Drag Queen Last Supper” made it to the halls of Art Hamptons in New York. \n  \n♦ Rundown ♦ \n12:30 – 2:00pm |  1st Screening of Paris is Burning \n2:00 – 2:55pm   |  Discussion and Q & A \n2:55 – 3:00pm   |  Closing performance by La Chiquitta \n3:00 – 4:20pm   |  2nd Screening of Paris is Burning  \n  \n♦ Details ♦ \nDate | 28 February 2024 (Wednesday)\nTime | 12:30-4:20pm\nVenue | Rayson Huang Theatre\, Main Campus\, HKU  \nLanguage | English\nEnquiries | genderst@hku.hk  \n\n♦ All are welcome ♦ \n  \nThe event is sponsored by the US Consulate in Hong Kong and Macau\, HKU’s Common Core\, Gender Studies Programme\, and the School of Humanities. \n  \n♦ Register HERE ♦\n

SUMMARY:Mapping the Border: Women Artists’ Reconceptions of Space\, Gender and Representation
DESCRIPTION:Mapping the Border: Women Artists’ Reconceptions of Space\, Gender and Representation\nDate: 7 April 2022 (Thursday)\nTime: 4pm\nWebinar Link: https://hku.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HFi-EiCmRIaM453Rst0lmw \nOver the past fifty years\, citizens of the divided capital Nicosia\, Cyprus\, have experienced the instability of their hometown\, the dead end of the streets and the enduring militarism and nationalism of the Buffer Zone. This paper will examine the work of contemporary women artists who explore in their practice the theme of an enclosed city and its environment. Women artists’ reconceptions of place can offer new understandings of seeing and experiencing divided cities. According to Meskimmon\, women artists can become a ‘sentient participant in the city’ and they develop in their artist practices negotiations on gender\, space and representation.[1] \nThe ‘flâneur’ concept has been historically associated with a male figure that had the privilege to stroll leisurely around the cities. For women artists in Cyprus\, strolling along the borders of their divided homeland can be seen as a politicised action\, as they enter a domain that has been predominantly controlled by masculinised politics. This paper will focus on the work of women artists who have used the walking body and its movement to re-enact the boundaries that confine the city. In entering the space of the enclosed city and strolling along its borders\, women artists have used sensory strategies to reclaim it. The site-specific interventions offer new perspectives into understanding past histories and create new narratives of belonging. \n[1] Meskimmon\, M. (1997) Engendering the City: Women Artists and Urban Space\, London: Scarlet Press \nSpeaker: Dr. Maria Photiou \nMaria Photiou is an art historian and a Research Fellow at the University of Derby\, UK. She holds a doctorate in Art History from Loughborough University. Her current research focuses on women’s art practices and the connections between migration\, gender\, memory and the politics of belonging. Previously she worked as a Research Associate at Loughborough University\, developing an AHRC funded project entitled ‘Visual Narratives of Homeland’. She is co-editor of the anthology Art\, Borders and Belonging: On Home and Migration (Bloomsbury\, 2021).

SUMMARY:Queer Chinese Feminist Archipelago: Shanghai\, Miami\, and San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:Queer Chinese Feminist Archipelago: Shanghai\, Miami\, and San Francisco\nDate: 31 March 2022 (Thursday)\nTime: 7:30pm\nWebinar Link: https://hku.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-0hC3rd-RXKtVCXctyqPbQ \nMartinican-born poet and theoretician Édouard Glissant suggests that a shift to “archipelagic thinking” can allow one to see the world metaphorically as a collection of islands connected to each other. Foregrounding the body and affect\, I will consider the exhibition WOMEN 我們\, organized by Abby Chen\, that traveled from Shanghai (2011) to San Francisco (2012) and Miami (2013) through what I refer to as “archipelagic feeling.” WOMEN 我們 explored queer Chinese feminism\, and in a nod to cities where the venues were located\, the curators expanded the checklist at each leg of the tour. In this way\, the curators aimed not to essentialize or center queer Chinese feminism but productively connect it to (for example) Latinx subjectivities and Asian-American feminist concerns. In so doing\, I suggest this exhibition offers a new framework for thinking about the transnational through both queerness and creolization. \nSpeaker: Dr. Alpesh Kantilal Patel \nAlpesh Kantilal Patel is an associate professor of contemporary art at Tyler School of Art and Architecture\, Temple University. His art historical scholarship\, curating\, and criticism reflect his queer\, anti-racist\, and transnational approach to contemporary art. He is the author of the monograph Productive failure: Writing queer transnational South Asian art histories (2017). A co-editor of the anthology Storytellers of Art’s Histories (2022) and special journal issue for Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art (2021)\, he is working on two book projects\, Visual Diaries: Transnational Miami and Multiple and One: Global Queer Art Histories.

SUMMARY:Transpacific Celebrity: Xiao Hong\, Agnes Smedley\, and Eileen Chang
DESCRIPTION:The Committee on Gender Equality and Diversity and the Gender Studies Programme at the University of Hong Kong present: \nTranspacific Celebrity: Xiao Hong\, Agnes Smedley\, and Eileen Chang \nSpeaker:\nClara Iwasaki\, Assistant Professor\, Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Alberta \nDiscussant:\nNicole Huang\, Professor and Chair\, Department of Comparative Literature\, School of Humanities\, HKU \nModerator:\nElizabeth LaCouture\, Director and Assistant Professor\, Gender Studies Programme\, School of Humanities\, HKU \nDate: Wednesday\, March 9\, 2022 \nTime: 10:00 am Hong Kong Time \nVenue: On Zoom \nAll are welcome. Please register and the link will be sent to you before the event. \nhttps://bit.ly/CIwasaki \nThis talk focuses on the way three authors\, Xiao Hong\, Agnes Smedley and Eileen Chang\, circulated around the transpacific. All three writers are strongly associated with autobiographical writings and in the case of Xiao and Chang\, their sensational biographies (particularly their love lives) have frequently overshadowed their writing. All three women deployed their literary personae\, but their control over their image was never absolute. Xiao Hong and Agnes Smedley were friends and more importantly\, they circulated each other’s works and literary images. Xiao Hong sees in Smedley’s work a universal feminist struggle. Smedley sees in Xiao Hong a vision of a progressive and particularly Chinese proletarian feminism. For Eileen Chang\, her autobiographical novels remained unpublished until many years after her death because her stark self-revelation was inconsistent with the image of old Shanghai glamor that her earlier fiction had conjured up. \nClara Iwasaki is an assistant professor in the department of East Asian Studies at the University of Alberta. Her book Rethinking the Modern Chinese Canon: Refractions across the Transpacific was published by Cambria in 2020. \nThis event is organised with the support of the Center for the Study of Globalization and Cultures (CSGC) and the Department of Comparative Literature\, School of Humanities\, HKU. \nEnquiries: Georgina Challen – gchallen@hku.hk

SUMMARY:The Vagina Monologues 2019
DESCRIPTION:“When you rape\, beat\, maim\, mutilate\, burn\, bury\, and terrorize women\, you destroy the essential life energy on the planet.” \nThe Vagina Monologues is a series of episodes written by Eve Ensler about women’s experiences: sex\, abuse\, love and birth. Since its debut in 1996\, it has been performed in over 140 countries with critical acclaim\, featuring famous actresses such as Meryl Streep and Oprah Winfrey.
