On Riots, Grief and Parties widens our understanding of the history of sexual dissent and racialised activisms through archives, interviews, documents, videos and other materials. The exhibition traces an alignment of key moments in feminist culture, the LGBTIQ+ and sexual dissidences by focusing on a variety of queer identities, parties, sex, civil rights and strategies of resistance to oppression.
This dialogue reveals the experiences, emotions and affections between colleagues that took place during the research and development of the exhibition On Riots, Grief and Parties in the framework of the Independent Studies Program. The fit of this project at MACBA opens reflections about new collective links through the selection of archive materials, activism and resistance in the face of a harsh institutional bureaucracy in a pandemic situation.
This dialogue is part of THE CONSTITUENT MUSEUM IN DIALOGUE, a series of conversations discussing the emancipatory possibilities and limits of museums. Find related talks, and read more on The Constituent Museum in Dialogue.
