TransUS-
A Discussion on the State of North American Queer Feminist Activism
Christoph Fiedler and Elin Sandström Lundh, a pair of Swedish writers will present their findingsfrom their travels across the US and Canada interviewing people about the state of queer feminist activism in 2008. The interviews will be compiled into a book--part photo-essay, part interviews, part original texts by queer activists.
TransUS says, "Queer-feminist activism constitutes an enormous positive power in its constant evolvement and questioning of both queer-feminist theory and of society at large."
Throughout 2008, they have been travelling across the US and Canada, interviewing people involved in queer-feminist actions such as organizing festivals, starting bands, printing fanzines, doing art, arranging demonstrations or more day-to-day activism.
Austin is their last stop so be sure to come out and represent. After the presentation, they will look for more contacts and possible interviewees. They are looking for queer-feminist activists, "people that want to dismantle hierarchies of gender, sexuality, race, class, and ability. In short, the goal is to change the world; make it a little bit more queer, a little more peaceful and free, or; “If gay is happy, then queer is the new fucking great time!”
