Online event for The Common Guild in response to the presentation of Sharon Hayes’ Ricerche series of films (2013–ongoing), particularly ‘Ricerche: three’.
We meet participants online at The Vintners, a former Glasgow gay bar and imaginary space for staging communal conversation, revisiting queer histories and engaging in discourse on collective identity. Participants assembled as a collaborative learning group to understand constructions of togetherness and individuality. The virtual space of The Vintners serves as a backdrop to a series of guided exercises, short screenings, and conversational prompts. This gathering instigated the development of a few collective questions, with an eye on recent queer history and its relevance to the here and now.
