Welcome to a lecture and conversation about Queer Tattooing at Malm\u00f6 Pride 8\/7 at 11.15 hs, at Ridhuset, Folkets Park! Nikki Sullivan gives a live online lecture from Australia, followed by a conversation between Pia Laskar and Sara Swanson about searching for and writing queer history. Free entrance! For fb-event here!<\/a><\/p>\n

”Queer Tattooing: what does that mean?<\/div>\n
What does it mean to find the words \u2018queer\u2019 and \u2018tattoo(ing)\u2019 conjoined? Is this a phrase that is used simply to denote the fact that particular artists, studios, patrons, or designs are queer? Or does it mean that tattoos and tattooing are somehow inherently queer, or, have become so of late? What has the relationship between queer identity and\/or practice and tattoos and tattooing been historically and in specific geographic contexts? And how have such identities and practices intersected with other forms of body modification and expressions of style. Is queer tattooing political, aesthetic, performative, ethical, reclamatory, consumerist, spiritual, a mode of belonging? Who gets to decide, and how? My presentation will explore these and other questions that the bringing together or two wor(l)ds invokes.”<\/div>\n
