Amelia Abraham: 'Sex, Clubs, Dissent' [Launch & signing]

Join us at Climax Books to celebrate the release of Sex, Clubs, Dissent: Visualising Queer Nightlife edited by Amelia Abraham. Rather than a comprehensive catalogue or chronology of queer nightlife, Sex, Clubs, Dissent is a love letter to those who went out and stayed out, felt the urge to document or reflect what was happening, or who have used their artmaking to dream new modes of being into existence.

With essays and conversations by Amelia Abraham, Brontez Purnell, McKenzie Wark, Rene Matić and Ajamu X, Jack Parlett, Tavia Nyong’o, Adam Zmith, Sita Balani and Sunil Gupta, Ariel Goldberg, Sweatmother, Asa Seresin, and Legacy Russell and Tourmaline.

Free to attend.

More about Sex, Clubs, Dissent

Sex, Clubs, Dissent 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.
