Shape Shifting God as Queer. A performative symposium
Convened by Artist-in-Residence Carlos Motta and Jared Gilbert, the performative symposium features performative lectures and performances by a group of academics, activists, artists and theologians to explore the intersections of queer politics, spirituality and social justice. Godfull: Shape Shifting God as Queer explores queerness as a constant disrupting force in the ground of theology and sexual politics. The participants speak of a "queerness" in theology that is particular and explicit of the queer body, a "queerness" that represents a constant pursuit of new social and spiritual revelations through deviant, subversive and indecent affirmations that will continue to challenge repressive notions of morality and respectability. The complete programme is on the web site. Registration for this event is free and open to the public but reservation is required.
