DISCOURSE x SOUND 002
Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley in Conversation with Aurora Higgs
"THIS IS MINE TO ARCHIVE: Archive Activism Alongside Art "
March 20th
12PM
Event Registration: https://vcu.zoom.us/j/96912201526
On Saturday, March 20th, the Department of Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies and OPULENCE welcome the artist Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley for an artist talk as part of the DISCOURSE x SOUND series. Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley is an artist living and working in London who creates work that seeks to archive black trans experience. Brathwaite-Shirley’s practice uses technology to imagine black trans lives in environments that center black trans bodies…those living, those that have passed and those that have been forgotten.
For this series, Danielle will be joined in conversation with scholar-activist and Black queer visionary Aurora Higgs, a graduate student in the MATX Program at Virginia Commonwealth University. She studies the relationship trans people of color have with media and the archive and believes that art and digital media are the catalysts that most successfully open the public’s consciousness; to speculate about worlds beyond our own.
Later that day, at 4PM, join queer collectives Dialogue and OPULENCE for a 3-hour virtual dance party featuring heart pumping, high-energy DJ sets by London-based duo ASTRYD, Manchester-based AYA and Richmond’s madison moore.
DISCOURSE x SOUND is a virtual lecture series that highlights contemporary DJs alongside cutting-edge research on gender, queerness and black/brown livelihoods.

Legacy's talk, "CYBERPUBLICS, MONUMENTS, AND PARTICIPATION" is a discussion about the ways in which artists engaging the digital are building new models for what monuments can be in a networked era of mechanical reproduction. madison moore, Ph.D., assistant professor in GSWS, will follow Legacy's talk with a critical listening session on their black/queer techno influences followed by a conversation with Legacy and a Q&A from students and the audience.
