Sensing the Edge: Queer and Feminist Photographic Archives (Online)

Oriented toward imagemakers seeking an alternative photographic “canon,” this course explores the histories and practices of image practitioners foundational to an inclusive queer and feminist photographic archive. We examine, dissect, and discuss interdisciplinary practices in lens-based imagemaking, including: self-portraiture, collage, video, alternative process photography, performance art, writing, and more. Each class explores what happens when we confront the ever-domineering “edge” of an image—a boundary that has been strictly defined by those in power throughout time—as we challenge the modernist frameworks of viewing The Artist as God, and instead, consider rewriting history in terms of The Artist as Person.
