Transfixions with Shola von Reinhold and Skye Arundhati Thomas

Doors: 6.30pm
Event: 7-8pm

Join Lavender Menace for an evening with writer and editor Skye Arundhati Thomas in conversation with artist and writer Shola von Reinhold. Von Reinhold's celebrated novel, Lote, weaves narratives of queer archival disruption, academic alienation, and obscured histories through the narrative of Mathilda's fixation with archival figures. We ask her about the historical figures that haunt her work and the potential for queer histories to transfix artists and researchers.
