This is not my history, yet I see it in you

Artistic Research Week 2025 | Master of Film | Part of the Keep an Eye Filmacademie Festival

On the night of June 28, 1969, the Stonewall riots in Greenwich village, New York broke out, an event that becomes tied to the pride parades in June as a commemoration. It is a beat in worldwide gay liberation. We claim these moments and embody them. Are there more traces that we have embodied that we often don't actively acknowledge? Do we claim these global histories too easily?

Through a combination of archival material, distant histories, personal stories, and a performance practice, artistic researcher Max Kutschenreuter will trace in his performance-lecture the different lineages of the research he conducted within the Master of Film, titled: In motion, we remember to resist. 

The performance lecture will focus on the lineages of queer gestures and their potentiality as a method of documenting embodied histories.  The lecture will conclude with a performance, in which the audience will be choreographed. Investigating together the use and potentiality of one such gesture: the look.
