SUMMARY:Sex Salon: The Museo de Machistán: Creating an Archive and Digital
  Exhibit of Mexican Lesbian Nightlife
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Carina Guzmán (Islandia) will discuss the "Muse
 o de Machistán": the research-creation project that draws on an imagined 
 territory based on Mexican lesbian nightlife\, "Machistán"\, and the many
  ways it functions as a queer archive. The project consists of a digital r
 epository and online exhibit aimed to reflect this virtual territory. It i
 s based on the collection of photos and ephemera from the lesbian and quee
 r women's nightlife organizing collective of which Guzmán was a part in M
 exico City in the mid-2000s. Guzmán will discuss the project's developmen
 t within her doctoral dissertation and in collaboration with the Cabaret C
 ommons Critical Practice\, as well as the process and ethics of gathering 
 the materials and putting them online.\n\nClick here to register on Zoom.
