How is a tree like a stripper pole? Where do the poetics of physicality and ecology overlap? As digital spaces collapse into slop and surveillance, how can queer communities in the material world dig and twerk toward pleasure and liberation? In Hands in the Soil, Legs on the Pole: Queerness in the Material Realm, QTBIPOC writers Brandon Logans, Kevin Madrigal Galindo, May-Li Khoe, and Nnenna Loveth explore the sensuality, tenderness, and resilience of both body and earth. These landworkers, dancers, and poets discuss how queerness informs and supports their relationship to tangible space, natural environs, and embodied movement. Curated by Mukethe Kawinzi.
