Abstract or Description

To celebrate the launch of the Orlando Myxx archive at the Institute, Orlando is joined by artist and researcher Elly Clarke for an exploration of drag in relation to the archive.

A Performative Lecture will drag the audience through screenings of The Plastic Drag series, live performances and a discussion about creating and caring for the queer archive.

In physics, drag is a force that pulls in two directions at once: forwards, and back; up, and down. It is also both a performance – with the possibility of transformation – and a burden, or resistance. Within the context of this archive, how do we hold this tension? How do we represent evidence of a time, an event, a happening, a performance out of the physical and digital matter that remains?
