Examples from the more surrealistic side of trans* visual history demonstrate that what we call gender lies beyond binary forms and material coherence. Following a tradition of queer/trans* image making that flirts with incongruence, animality, and non-sensical modes of expression, queer theorist Jack Halberstam will discuss Leonora Carrington’s magical worlds in relation to experiments in incoherence in queer visual culture.
