Do queer people naturally segregate themselves by age? What are the consequences of generational segregation in the queer community? If other cultures survive by the passing of wisdom from parents to biological children, how can queer culture(s), without that kind of formalized familial interaction, avoid perpetual disappearance? As part of the "thirtynothing" event series, performance artist Dan Fishback will moderate a discussion about these questions and more, featuring filmmaker Ira Sachs (co-founder, "Queer/Art/Mentorship"), legendary drag performer Jack "Mother Flawless Sabrina" Doroshow, artist Carlos Motta ("We Who Feel Differently"), and more TBA. While the conversation will span generational issues in the larger queer landscape, it will focus largely on gay male communities, specifically in light of the generational void caused by the mass death of gay men from AIDS.
This event series accompanies a four-week run of Fishback's new multi-media solo performance, "thirtynothing." The show explores the lives and work of gay artists who have died of AIDS, in an attempt to gain a greater understanding of the queer past, and the place of younger generations in queer history.
