A South Asian Queer Pamphlet

An interactive web installation in which each participant creates a unique experience based on letters chosen from a theory-linked queer alphabet.

Each experience in this project is constructed by the viewer and autogenerated from a curated set of 26 site-specific, non-binary performances by Indian queer artist Kaur Chimuk. Participants begin their experience by entering a word. Every letter of the word is then linked to one of 26 performances tied to a glossary of queer theory. It ranges from A for appearance, B for binary, C for construction to H for hegemony, K for kinship and ends with Z for theorize. A unique film is then created, inspired by the participant’s choice, and at the end of the film they will receive a bespoke queer pamphlet based on the word they made using the letters from the queer alphabet.
