Drawing on their practice, background, and research, the speakers engage in a conversation on bodies that resist representation and metaphor, while healing from histories and patterns of abuse and invisibility. O’Neil Lawrence, artist, writer, researcher, and Chief Curator of the National Gallery of Jamaica brings to the table his research work on genealogies of representing Black masculinized queer bodies, Bruno Zhu contributes perspectives on his own artistic work engaging with queerness, racism, migration, and the multiple skins one negotiates on a daily basis, while Grada Kilomba, artist and co-curator of this year’s Biennial of São Paulo, speaks of her practice of storytelling centred around concepts of memory, trauma, gender, and post-colonialism, disrupting the collective discourse through an urgent decolonial language and imagery.
