This 6-week online course is devoted to learning and sharing queer histories within photography, asking If it is not embodied, can it be shared? Tracing relationships between writing, performance and photography, students will gain a deeper understanding of queer narratives in photography while producing work in response to these histories. This course will consist of lecture, discussion, assignments focused on storytelling and personal narrative, optional readings and invitations to share work as a group and in one-on-one settings. Students will leave with a grasp on how their stories are situated within history, along with practical tools and rituals to bring forward into their practice. The course lifts its title from Claude Cahun's book, Disavowals, Cancelled Confessions, honoring a devotion to those who have come before us, and will come after us, in the queer bibliography.
