[Conference or Workshop Item]
To celebrate the launch of the Orlando Myxx archive at the Institute, Orlando is joined by artist and researcher Elly Clarke for an exploration of drag in relation to the archive.
A Performative Lecture will drag the audience through screenings of The Plastic Drag series, live performances and a discussion about creating and caring for the queer archive.
In physics, drag is a force that pulls in two directions at once: forwards, and back; up, and down. It is also both a performance – with the possibility of transformation – and a burden, or resistance. Within the context of this archive, how do we hold this tension? How do we represent evidence of a time, an event, a happening, a performance out of the physical and digital matter that remains?
