Between the Table and the Dance Floor: Queer Diasporic World-Making through Tavern Rituals in the Netherlands with Suzi Asa

Join us for Suzi Asa’s lecture for “Exile, More Broadly: An Irregular Series” on the sensory dimensions of nightlife, including rituals of eating, drinking, and music, and what they can reveal about diasporic life and experiences of exile. Focusing on how queer diasporic subjects inhabit and reshape familiar social rituals such as gathering around a table, sharing food and alcohol, listening to music, and dancing, Suzi asks how these practices can complicate conventional ideas about nation, gender, belonging and identity, considering their experiences of living with displacement.
