Description: 
This free day-long conference explores the politics of images and objects and their material consequences. The speakers cover fashion, drag performance, photography and the visual arts, food, poetry, official rhetoric and the digital realm, bringing perspectives from Korea, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Russia and the US. Many pay attention to colonial politics: whether to the legacies of colonial pasts in the present, or to ongoing projects of settler-colonialism around us today.
