Learn about Trans Art and Activism in this talk hosted by Adam Barbu.
Taking its inspiration from trans activist Sylvia Rivera’s proclamation that “we are numerous,” this talk offers an expansive reading of community through the lens of artistic production. Gathering a range of historical and contemporary practices, Adam Barbu explores a fluid, shifting understanding of gendered embodiment. Presented in this context, trans is not a singular identity category but rather a force of difference that refigures the body as a surface of meaning.
Instructor Bio: Adam Barbu is an independent writer, curator, and educator living in Ottawa. They hold an MA in Art History from the University of Toronto and currently work as a research resident at the University of Ottawa’s Department of Visual Arts. Focusing on contemporary art, queer theory, and curatorial studies, they have lectured on special topics locally, nationally, and internationally.
