Talk: mandla rae – Category Mistake

mandla rae 24 may

Join the Sexuality Summer School for a performance lecture in which mandla rae tells the story of the experience of being a ‘category mistake’ – an identity that society does not want to admit exists.

This event is presented in partnership with SICK! Festival

There will be BSL interpretation for this event.

About mandla rae:

mandla is a queer Zimbabwean-born, Manchester-based practitioner who examines the notion of identity and its regulation on the body to explore possibilities of resistance through a performance practice of embodied movement, gesture, and spoken word.

About the Sexuality Summer School:

The Sexuality Summer School is a week-long event comprised of a series of workshops for 40 postgraduate students, alongside a public arts events programme open to all. Read more about this year’s programme.

This event will take place at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, 3 Cambridge St, Manchester M1 5BY
