SUMMARY:Dressaged Animality?
DESCRIPTION:In this serious yet playful workshop\, we explore alternative f
 orms of resistance\, activist tactics\, and choreographies of disobedience
  inspired by theories of nonviolent direct action and interspecies intimac
 y. We begin by sharing experiences of violence\, exclusion\, and moments o
 f dehumanization that we may have encountered through activism. Queer\, en
 vironmental\, and anti-colonial activism are often spaces where people enc
 ounter forms of segregation\, marginalization\, and direct bodily violence
 .\n\nFrom there\, we turn to unusual yet inspiring examples of queer\, bip
 oc\, environmental performance practices that challenge what we call socie
 tal dressage—the socially imposed choreography and behavior that shape h
 ow individuals are expected to act in everyday life. By reflecting on our 
 own experiences\, exchanging insights\, and learning from historical examp
 les\, we will collectively imagine speculative forms of counter-activism: 
 sabotage\, drag\, care\, pretending\, and other practices that may seem hu
 morous or subtle at first glance\, yet hold the potential to gently and po
 werfully disrupt normative structures. The goal of this workshop is to bro
 aden our understanding of the many ways activism may flourish\, to nurture
  hope\, and to create a counter-public community where vulnerability\, hes
 itation\, and small voices are welcomed as meaningful forms of political p
 resence.\n\nMaya Erin Masuda (she/ her)  is an artist\, activist and a re
 searcher who’s been exploring queer ecology as both movement and artisti
 c approach. Looking forward to meeting you there :) Please bring your own 
 favorite example of micro-activism to share.
