Cruising Media: Art and Technosexual Dissidence in Latin America

Please join us for a visit from the visual artist, essayist, and activist Felipe Rivas San Martín, a postdoctoral researcher at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and current artist-in-residence at the Swiss Institute in NYC. He is a co-founder of the University Collective of Sexual Dissidence, CUDS (2002-2019), a Latin American group dedicated to activism, artistic experimentation, and critical reflection. He will be visiting Carl Fischer’s SPAN 3002 course to present a Spanish-language talk related to his new book, The Non-Existent Archive (El archivo inexistente), which compiles a series of AI-generated, imaginary queer and non-binary working class couples in early-20th-century Latin America.
