Q ENCOUNTER 2018

Aimed at anyone interested in taking part

With The Last Letter is Q, Changing Name and Project Q, this year we continue our exploration of queer research and pedagogies, which we began some years ago now. Things have changed considerably since we first started out on this path with the Painting Your Nails workshop: the educational community, the social and cultural context, politics and social movements… This period of transformations has brought to the fore a series of new doubts and challenges when it comes to undertaking queer work within schools.

With Changing Name, this year we are continuing our work with high-school students on narratives of gender identity and the concept of normalcy from a feminist and queer perspective. The Last Letter is Q, a workshop for teachers, brings together various professionals who collectively imagined a queer school.
 

Finally, Project Q is an online reference space where we can find (and get lost in) materials and all kind of information about queerness. This space has been created with the idea of offering a living, provisional, unstable place.
 

In this open encounter we will share experiences with the intention of continuing collectively rethinking the potentialities of queer practice in its meeting with education.
