Reading Session: new trans-lations
Novelist and Nottingham’s Shady Cow Collective member Russell Christie leads a collective reading session on the work of philosopher, drag queen, and activist Giuseppe Campuzano. Campuzano created the ephemeral project in 2014 called Museo Travesti del Perú (Transvestite Museum of Peru). the museum was an attempt at a queer counter-reading and promiscuous intersectional thinking of history.
