Trans Femme Futures: Abolitionist Ethics for Transfeminist Worlds
Join us for the Glasgow Launch of Trans Femme Futures: Abolitionist Ethics for Transfeminist Worlds, by Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift.
‘Femme’ describes a constellation of queer, gendered expressions that uproot expectations of what it means to be feminine. Building upon experiences of transformation, belonging and harm, this book offers transfeminist contributions to movements for collective liberation.
Trans Femme Futures envisions the future through everyday actions that revolutionise all of our lives. It discusses struggles around trans healthcare, and the need for collectives rather than institutions, the importance of mutual care, and transfeminism as abolition. The authors discuss how social change can be achieved through transformative practices that allow queer life to thrive in a time of climate, health, political and economic crises.
For this event, Nat and Mijke will present ideas from the book, and will be joined by collaborators for a panel discussion and audience Q&A.
Dr Nat Raha is a poet, and Lecturer at Glasgow School of Art. She has authored four books of poetry, numerous journal articles, and her writing has been translated into 8 languages.
Dr Mijke van der Drift is tutor at the Royal College of Art, London. Mijke’s work on ethics has appeared in various formats in journals, performances, and sound pieces.
