This utopia has no center – no head, no authority. Humans exist as part of a collage of bodies, materials, and forces. Entangled and constantly transforming through relations.

The new exhibition at QUEER MUSEUM VIENNA opens a space to explore fluid selves and shifting desires. What if, instead of naming or judging, we allowed desires to lead? What if we let ourselves feel life fully, even when it disorients or unsettles us?

The lecture traces the stories of performance and representation of genderqueer and non-heterosexual bodies in Ukraine from the 11th till the late 20th century emphasising how desire itself becomes a claim to presence and recognition in a heteronormative society. We will see how Ukrainian queer bodies performed acts of political will, resist normative patriarchy and colonial oppression, and create new imaginaries and futures in art.

Clothing as a sign system that determines how bodies are read, evaluated, and regulated—and how these historical constructs continue to have an impact to this day.

This lecture explores queer and queer-adjacent expressions in literature, poetry, mysticism, and visual culture from historical Syria and the broader Levant. Moving beyond modern identity labels, it traces how desire, intimacy, gender fluidity, and embodied longing appeared in classical Arabic poetry, Sufi writings, court literature, and urban social spaces such as bathhouses and performance traditions.Through selected examples, the lecture asks how queerness can be read historically, how desire was articulated before contemporary categories, and how these cultural lineages challenge dominant narratives that frame queerness as foreign to the region. The talk weaves together art, history, and embodiment to open space for alternative readings of tradition, memory, and belonging.

This lecture offers a research-based overview of Generation X lesbian artists in the post-Yugoslav space from the 1990s to today. It examines how war, post-war realities, nationalism, and post-socialist transition shaped artistic practices, networks, and conditions of (in)visibility, and how lesbia artists responded to erasure by creating counter-archives of memory, solidarity and resistance. Drawning on long-term research, the lecture maps shared patterns, shifts over time, and the political significance of lesbian art within post-Yugoslav cultural history.
