Dani d’Ingeo, Prishita Maheshwari-Aplin & Amelia Abraham: 'Sex, Clubs, Dissent' [Talk]

What role does photography play in queer nightlife? And how does the creation of shared joy, protest, and art create sustainable networks of solidarity and resilience? 

Amelia Abraham, in conversation with photographer Dani d’Ingeo and hosted by author and queer theorist Prishita Maheshwari-Aplin, explores queer nightlife, archiving space and the transformative world-making power of pleasure as presented in her new book Sex, Clubs, Dissent: Visualising Queer Nightlife.

More about Sex, Clubs, Dissent

Edited by Amelia Abraham, the book traces an expansive visual history of queer nightlife through photography, film and art. It considers how image-making has impacted the formation of queer practices, subcultures and resistance, asking what our enduring impulse to document nightlife reveals about pleasure, protest and politics.
