XXI.NET.AU
Date: 25th and 26th of March, 2026
Timetable & full program launched!
We’re aiming to stitch new sight lines between neuroqueer theories and practices and posthuman theories – drawing connections between theoretical siblings that each aim to disrupt, trouble, deconstruct, crip, queer and hack harmful binaries and their normativitites – The neuroqueer and the posthuman being both ‘critters in a queer litter’ (Haraway, 2016, 105). The key question this symposium takes up is the relation between neuroqueer theory, posthumanism, crip theory and de-colonial practices and the ways each theory and practice overlap and differ. In discussing these overlaps and divergences we hope to nurture a generative space for developing ways of moving together – making kin.
This symposium is being organised by early career researchers and PhD candidates from RMIT School of Art and other disciplines. It is free to present and free to attend.
