Podcast: (Re)claiming Histories - A Roundtable on Queer Activism
In this special episode, we bring you the recording of the book launch event for (Re)claiming, the second title in the Archival Textures publication series, which took place on 10 September 2024 at Framer Framed. (Re)claiming explores how various queer and feminist communities in the Netherlands have reclaimed symbols, words, and stories as tools for empowerment in a hostile society.
Archival materials featured in (Re)claiming include a collection of buttons, a text by Karin Daan, the designer of the Homomonument in Amsterdam and short statements and flyers by queer groups such as SUHO, Sjalhomo, Roze Front, Roze Driehoek, Roze Gebaar, Van Doofpot tot Mankepoot, Interpot/ILIS, Lesbisch Archief Amsterdam, Strange Fruit Vrouwen and Groep Zwarte Vrouwen Nijmegen.
Co-editors Noah Littel and Tabea Nixdorff engage in a lively conversation with contributors Anne Krul, Tieneke Sumter, and translator Canan Marasligil (Ja’anan Marashligil). The episode also features readings from the book, including poetry by Gita Hacham, and reflections on the symbolic and activist significance of the triangle. With this selection, (Re)claiming brings together queer, trans, crip, feminist, Jewish and Black perspectives on (re)claiming as an activist strategy.
Listen in to this insightful conversation on the significance of reclaiming as an essential activist strategy, both in its historical roots and contemporary relevance.
