SUMMARY:Trans Caribbean: Queer and Trans Arts\, Rights\, and Activism
DESCRIPTION:Co-organized by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) and The Latinx Project at NYU. Co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality (CSGS)\, Hemispheric Institute\, Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU\, and the Center for the Study of Africa and the African Diaspora (CSAAD). \nDETAILS & REGISTRATION \nAs trans rights and embodiment are under attack in the United States\, trans activists and legal activists are advancing a broad trans rights agenda across the Caribbean. Colombia’s proposed Ley Integral Trans\, for instance\, aims to protect the rights of transgender and non-binary individuals\, while ensuring their full equality and participation in all areas of society. Meanwhile\, like millions of others\, queer and trans people in the Caribbean have historically lived across and beyond national boundaries. Our invited guests discuss their experiences of advocating for trans rights\, sustaining creative practice\, and convening community while crossing gendered\, legal\, and geographic boundaries. The conversations will be accompanied by two performances that illustrate the complexity of living life across boundaries. \nThe first panel\, focused on the struggle for rights\, recognition\, and equality in Colombia\, stages a conversation between Liga de Salud Trans activists Juli Salamanca Cortés and Yoko Ruiz and their artistic collaborators\, photographer Camila Falquez and author Cesar Vallejo. Moderated by Professor Bel Olid (University of Chicago). \nThe second panel examines the Trans Caribbean through its artistic\, social\, and legal movements through a conversation with advocate and program strategist Dane Lewis\, interdisciplinary artist Edrimael Delgado Reyes (LaBoriVogue)\, installation and performance artist Carlos Martiel\, and Black Trans Liberation activist Qween Jean. Moderated by Professor Leo Douglas (NYU Liberal Studies). This panel threads together experiences that cross Cuba\, Jamaica\, Haiti\, Puerto Rico\, and the United States. \nThe closing reception features performances by poet Suzanne Persard\, poet Darrel Alejandro Holnes\, and artist Edrimael Delgado Reyes. Persard is published in the poetry anthology I Will Not Go: Translations\, Transformations\, and Chutney Fractals (Kaya Press\, 2024)\, and Holnes is published in When Language Broke Open: An Anthology of Queer and Trans Black Writers of Latin American Descent (University of Arizona Press\, 2023). \nAccessibility note: This event is free and open to the public with RSVP. The building has a wheelchair ramp and elevator. For any questions or to notify us of additional accommodation requests\, please email clacs@nyu.edu at least a week prior to the event. \nImage: Samantha Siagama\, Trans-Indigenous Leader.
