Dissident Publics: Future Artefacts of Queer Methodologies was the culmination of a year-long collective critical investigation. Aiming at uncovering the social and spatial potentials of public space when seen from queer and intersectional feminist perspectives. The collective worked in a transdisciplinary manner to collectively define tools and methods that reclaim agency over our social and constructed environments, ultimately developing a proposition for a queer public space which was collectively designed and co-produced.

The public programing of Dissident Publics: Future Artefacts of Queer Methodologies was an essential element of the broader collective research project. Concieved of as a public offering, for the duration of the exhibition the space was made freely available to community members to host public and private events, and functioned as a site of gathering and knowledege sharing within the queer community.

Dissident Publics are: Exutoire (Bui Quy Son and Paul-Antion Lucas), NOGOODS (Danja Burchard and Maike Statz), Léa Brami, Mahé Cordier-Jouanne, Lexie Owen, Liene Pavlovska and  Jan Trinh.
