Time Goes By, So Slowly: Tina Takemoto’s Queer Futurity Jenni Sorkin, Associate Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara Tina Takemoto’s experimental films are infused with a historical consciousness that invokes the queer gaps within the state-sanctioned record of Asian American history. This essay examines Takemoto’s semi-narrative experimental film, Looking for Jiro (fig. 1), which offers complex encounters of queer futurity, remaking historical gaps into interstitial spaces that invite and establish queer existence through both imaginative and direct traces of representation. Its primary subject, Jiro Onuma (1904–1990), is a gay, Japanese-born, American man who was imprisoned at Topaz War Relocation Center in Millard County, Utah, during the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans by the United States government during World War II.1 Takemoto’s title, Looking for Jiro, alludes to Isaac Julien’s lyrical black-and-white 1989 film, Looking for Langston, which is a pioneering postmodern vision of queer futurity, reenvisioning the sophisticated, homosocial world of the Harlem Renaissance and its sexual and creative possibilities for writers such as poet Langston Hughes (1902–1967). Fig. 1. Tina Takemoto, film still from Looking for Jiro, 2011 Over a five-year period, Takemoto developed a speculative

  • A Sourcebook on Feminist Theatre and Performance: on and Beyond the Stage/Edited by Carol Martin; with an Introduction by Jill Dolan
    A SOURCEBOOK OF FEMINIST THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE A Sourcebook of Feminist Theatre and Performance brings together key articles first published in The Drama Review (TDR), to provide an intriguing overview of the development of feminist theatre and performance. Divided into the categories of “history,” “theory,” “interviews,” and “texts,” the materials in this collection allow the reader to consider the developments of feminist theatre through a variety of perspectives. This book contains the seminal texts of theorists such as Elin Diamond, Peggy Phelan, and Lynda Hart, interviews with performance artists including Anna Deveare Smith and Robbie McCauley, and the full performance texts of Holly Hughes’ Dress Suits to Hire and Karen Finley’s The Constant State of Desire. The outstanding diversity of this collection makes for an invaluable sourcebook. A Sourcebook of Feminist Theatre and Performance will be read by students and practitioners of theatre and performance, as well as those interested in the performance of sexualities and genders. Carol Martin is Assistant Professor of Drama at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. WORLDS OF PERFORMANCE What is a “performance”? Where does it take place? Who are the participants? Not so long ago these were settled questions, but today such orthodox answers are unsatisfactory, misleading, and limiting. “Performance” as a theoretical category and as a practice has expanded explosively. It now comprises a panoply of genres ranging from play, to popular entertainments, to theatre, dance, and music, to secular and religious rituals, to “performance in everyday life,” to intercultural experiments, and more. For nearly forty years, The Drama Review (TDR), the journal of performance studies, has been at the cutting edge of exploring these questions.

    OTIS Ben Maltz Gallery WB Exhibition Checklist 1 | Page of 58 (2012_Jan_23) GUIDE TO THE EXHIBITION Doin’ It in Public: Feminism and Art at the Woman’s Building October 1, 2011–January 28, 2012 Ben Maltz Gallery, Otis College of Art and Design Introduction “Doin’ It in Public” documents a radical and fruitful period of art made by women at the Woman’s Building—a place described by Sondra Hale as “the first independent feminist cultural institution in the world.” The exhibition, two‐volume publication, website, video herstories, timeline, bibliography, performances, and educational programming offer accounts of the collaborations, performances, and courses conceived and conducted at the Woman’s Building (WB) and reflect on the nonprofit organization’s significant impact on the development of art and literature in Los Angeles between 1973 and 1991. The WB was founded in downtown Los Angeles in fall 1973 by artist Judy Chicago, art historian Arlene Raven, and designer Sheila Levrant de Bretteville as a public center for women’s culture with art galleries, classrooms, workshops, performance spaces, bookstore, travel agency, and café. At the time, it was described in promotional materials as “a special place where women can learn, work, explore, develop their own point of view and share it with everyone. Women of every age, race, economic group, lifestyle and sexuality are welcome. Women are invited to express themselves freely both verbally and visually to other women and the whole community.” When we first conceived of “Doin’ It in Public,” we wanted to incorporate the principles of feminist art education into our process.

  • The 1978 “A Lesbian Show” Exhibition: the Politics of Queer Organizing Around the Arts and the Fight for Visibility in American Cultural Memory
    The 1978 “A Lesbian Show” Exhibition: The Politics of Queer Organizing around the Arts and the Fight for Visibility in American Cultural Memory AMST 350: Fall „10 Professor Paul Fisher December 20, 2010 By Anna J. Weick 1 Introduction “The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting".1 -Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting Our history is our lifeblood. We look to the past to create ourselves, affirm our beliefs, and to legitimize our dreams and ambitions. With a historical erasure of real human identities, individuals in society struggle against the constant onslaught of bigotry with no stories of past success or positive expression. Gay history has been systematically ignored, repressed, and forgotten by American society. In particular, a historical memory of GLBTQ arts remains non-existent. Art by women, especially by queer women, has been deemed unimportant, self-involved, child- like, without skill, over-emotional, silly, trivial, ugly, passé, but it has never been truly legitimized by society or by our historical memory. A hostility towards the memory of GLBTQ art history and support for lesbian and gay art undermines aims of queer liberation. Queer Americans deserve, as do women, people of color and all those oppressed by the military-industrial complexes controlling the resources and people of the world, the dignity of accurate historical representation and a legitimization of their identities. The acknowledgement of Queer history is integral to and intimately connected to social equality. When people blindly believe that the historical record is a collection of apolitical facts, dangerous assumptions are upheld, and movements towards a forward-thinking, diverse and accepting, peace-seeking society are threatened.

  • American Art: Lesbian, Post-Stonewall by Carla Williams
    American Art: Lesbian, Post-Stonewall by Carla Williams Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Since Stonewall, lesbian artists in America, from installation artists to filmmakers and photographers to performance artists and painters, have become increasingly diverse and visible. Lesbians in the 1950s and 1960s benefited from both the feminist and the civil rights movements. Within the feminist movement emerged lesbian feminism, which gave rise to groups and experiences that galvanized the lesbian movement and gave many middle-class women the freedom in which to "come out" and embrace their sexuality. During this time, however, there were few venues and outlets for women's art, let alone lesbian art. One exception was The Ladder, the newsletter from 1956 until 1972 of the San Francisco-based Daughters of Bilitis (DOB), the first lesbian rights organization, which regularly included artwork. The 1960s: Feminism and Abstraction Explicitly "lesbian" imagery did not emerge until the 1960s. The reasons for this are varied. Many lesbians shied away from sexual content for fear that explicit depictions of their sexuality would be misunderstood within a patriarchal, heterosexual society that was unable or unwilling to understand the nature of those images. Consequently, some lesbian artists made work with "ghetto content"--imagery that was understood only within the community. This strategy made it less likely for their work to be welcomed into a mainstream dialogue. As the feminist and civil rights movements progressed and women artists persisted, woman-based content began to emerge in the visual arts. The ideas that art might validate women's lives, that previously devalued craft traditions were significant, and that women's bodies were biological vessels of creation and change--these were not concepts that had been previously welcome in the canon, but they increasingly became the impetus for women's art.
