Description:

If ‘another world is possible’, what about another queer world – a world that is not centred on queer experiences in the Global West and the Global North? What do some of the already existing queer re-worlding practices look like and what is role of Asia in them? Imagining Queer Bandung, held in Berlin from June to August 2021, is a queer project that brought together filmmakers, curators and activists from Asia, Africa and the Caribbean through a series of film screening events and film and podcast making workshops. This 1.5-hour online panel discussion brings together filmmakers, curators and activists who are involved in the Imagining Queer Bandung project to critically reflect on the project, and to explore alternative and decolonised ways of imagining and mapping the queer world.
