Grounding Future Queer brings into focus the works in the New School’s collection that contribute to a critical interpretation of the contributions lesbians, gay, trans, bisexual, intersex, asexual and queer practitioners make to current cultural discourse. More than one hundred selections from the collection will be highlighted either in an exhibition in Aronson Gallery or reinstalled throughout the university with accompanying texts. These texts, written by members of the University community and invited guests and gathered on a dedicated blog, will propose ways in which these work might be considered. In addition, Grounding Future Queer will host a forum for presentation and discussion of works in progress by members of the New School community.

Contribute A Text About This Work

This project brings together Whitfield’s accumulated skills as an artist, designer, event producer, educator who frequently focuses on issues of cultural diversity, in particular, queer sexuality and race. After years of working in design arenas where these issues must struggle for primacy, he has refocused his practice over the last decade on projects rooted in contemporary explorations of narrative, particularly sequential image making. This Dancerie makes a leap to expanded notions of cinema. As such, he sees this piece as a critical juncture that completes a shift in his application of media to the service of collaborative storytelling.
