SUMMARY:Exhibition: Phreaking Gender
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \nPHREAKING GENDER expands the themes of Nicole O’Reilly’s titular documentary into an installation art show. O’Reilly teams up with Luke ‘Luca’ Cockayne to create a space for all to explore their relationship to gender and the ways that art can support and enhance The Transgender Experience™.  In the face of oppressive paternalistic medical systems that deny trans people bodily autonomy\, and at a time when our very existence is threatened\, PHREAKING GENDER provides a techno-anarchist manifesto\, showing that self-augmentation and the creation of radical queer communities is not just a necessity for wellbeing\, but as an act of empowerment and rebellion in itself. Work by Nicole O’Reilly & Luke ‘Luca’ Cockayne. \nThis exhibition is open from 3-9pm on 26th\, 27th and 28th September at the Creative Lab in CCA\, Glasgow \nThis exhibition is FREE. \n  \nACCESSIBLITY  \nContent Warnings: \n\nDiscussion of gender dysphoria\, suicide\, familial abuse;\nDepiction of nudity\, needles\, kinky activities\, sexual content\, drug use\, transphobia\, body fluids.\n\nThis exhibition has strobing lighting. \nThis installation has an age recommendation of N/C 18+. \nEnglish audio with English language captions.  \nWe have an Audience Access Fund for travel. If you would like to take this up\, please visit the access desk at the entrance of the CCA\, or contact info@sqiff.org. \nYou can find out more information about accessibility at SQIFF 2023 here. If you have any questions about accessibility at SQIFF 2023\, please get in touch with us at info@sqiff.org or by phone on 07873 331 036. \nWe ask that you wear a mask if possible and please don’t attend the screening if you have any symptoms of Covid-19 or have been in recent contact with a confirmed case.

Trained in semiotics\, she deploys research through praxis often in her artistic explorations of black diasporic symbolisms\, storytelling as performance\, and positioning the creative process as a performance/ritual. Her scholarly work currently explores the design techniques and aesthetic semiotics of late fashion designer\, Patrick Kelly. Her most recent artistic works include her artist responses to Senga Nengudi (Fruitmarket Gallery) and Nick Cave (Tramway) with performative works entitled Sew Me A Quilt. Tell You A Story. (2019) and The Burden I Bear Is Heavy (2019)\, respectively. \nNaomi Gessesse is a movie watcher and Aries sun from Glasgow. They have written for several publications and wrote an undergraduate thesis on the politics of space at the lgbtqia+ film festival. Naomi now works for Berwick Film And Media Arts Festival while continuing to write. \nA reading group led by Martha Williams on Sunday 18 October will conclude the series. Click here to book a free ticket to the reading group event\, Call & Reponse. The event will have BSL interpretation\, live captioning\, and live audio description. The films in the exhibition all have English language captions.  \nBorn in Flames is preserved by Anthology Film Archives with restoration funding from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and The Film Foundation.

SUMMARY:Are We Queer Yet?: SQIFF at GoMA
DESCRIPTION:The huge beautiful hall in the GoMA has been left free and open for SQIFF to play with\, so what do you think we did? Built a queer teenager’s bedroom\, of course! Come lounge and hang out in our fully interactive installation. There will even be equipment to watch the LGBTQ+ short film DVDs piled on our teenager’s shelf. This immersive experience is designed to emulate the alienation and excitement of adolescence (particularly from a LGBTQ+ perspective) whilst simultaneously providing a safe space in the heart of the city centre. Tell your past self\, the queers are here\, get used to it. \nSQIFF at GoMA is taking place in GoMA’s Gallery 1 while Marlie Mul’s exhibition is cancelled. \nACCESS: GoMA has wheelchair access to all floors and galleries.
