Social Justice Center Organizes 3rd Queer Forum: Crisis, Post-Crisis and Possibilities of Queer Emancipation in Georgia
On 11-12 November, 2021 Social Justice Center organizes third Queer Forum focusing on the theme: “Crisis, Post-Crisis and Possibilities of Queer Emancipation in Georgia.”
The queer forum on 11th November will take place in the physical space, on 12th of November it will take place online by ZOOM.
Those who wish to attend Queer Forum physically, as well as online must fill out the registration form at the following address: https://forms.gle/FeKfJLsZD3fDmhDa6
Queer Forum aims to address the analysis and identification of the place of queer bodies in post-crisis Georgia, the disappearance and appearance of queer groups in public discourse and its political instrumentalization, the permanence of the trauma – how it is shaped and should be reshaped for future mobilization of queer groups.
Panel discussions will touch upon the dominated forms of the practices of queer activism, which should facilitate the development of alternative visions and strategies from dominant and disciplined activist practices. Panel discussions will separately address the raise of anti-emancipatory and violent groups locally and globally.
Queer forum represents the hybrid of academic and activist space, it aims to support the creation of alternative educational space and the mobilization of the activist groups. Consequently, the conference can be especially valuable for groups and individuals interested in queer and feminist politics, activism and the social sciences.
Queer Forum will give the flow to speakers of Philosophy, Social Sciences and Gender Studies from Georgia and Eastern European countries. English/Georgian translation will be provided during the panel discussions.
Those wishing to attend the conference in the physical space should provide the proof of vaccination with the Covid 19 vaccine or a certificate of recovery from the Covid 19 virus (in the last 3 months). On November 11th the number of physical attendees is limited to prevent the spread of Covid 19.

Queer Forum is part of a project implemented by Social Justice Center and supported by the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU).
