Queer tatueringshistoria / historier är ett pågående konstprojekt, minnesarbete och efterforskning -skärvor som vi samlar in till oss sjäva och våra syskon, och som berättar om tider där tatuering och queerhet varit tabu, skambelagt och/eller förbjudet OCH ett handlande fyllt av motstånd kraft och lust.
Välkomna på vernissage lördag 18/1 kl 12-24 på nyöppnade Southside Gallery, Högdalsgången 43, till en dag fylld av samtal och föreläsningar och en kväll fylld av performance och firande!

PROGRAM
(the lectures and conversations will be in English. We help each other with language when needed. For more info se posts in the event, or web www.stademonia.com Times and details might change so double check when we get closer)

-12.00- Doors open, welcome!

-13.30- “Swedish Tattoo History”, lecture by author, journalist and tattoo historian Helena Meyer, where she sheds new light on the history of tattooing. With the help of articles from Swedish newspapers from two centuries, archival material and old debates in criminology Helena points out that what you heard about tattooing and the person tattooed is partly a myth.

-15.00- “Tattoos and queer women at the turn of the twentieth century in Copenhagen”, lecture by Rikke Andreassen, professor at Roskilde University, Denmark. Followed by conversation about Queer archives and how to work with Violent archives (from police, medical records etc, that often condemn both queerness and tattoos) with Rikke Andreassen, Marie Lunau (post doc researcher) and Pia Laskar (history of ideas and behind QRAB -Querrörelsens Arkiv och Bibliotek)

-17.00- Presentation and conversation about the work behind Queer Tatueringshistoria / Historier, with Del laGrace Volcano, Sara Swanson and Yolanda Aurora Bohm Ramirez

-20.00- Performance 'I don't miss you' by Kolbrún Inga Söring (they/them/den), a gender queer artist working in Gothenburg whose work spans several areas of artistic expression from performance, video work and site-specific installation to community cultivation and cultural production. They currently run the organisation Status Queer.

-21.00-Performance: PUNK LETTERS! is a band with an undecided never of members. The show is messy and grimy. A punk love letter with a message of revolution. A Rock-opera that meets crust punk. Burning flames. Nasty proposals. Ritual powers. Soft fluff. Sibling-hood. We perform with our voices. And maybe a live ukulele.

-21.30- DJ: Yolanda

-24.00- Buy buy good night!
