“Queerness as Mesh, Queerness as Mess”
This talk is about the possibilities and limits of sociality and affinity in a household of six undocumented queers of color living in New York City. Amidst the precarity of being “illegal” and surviving economic instability, these queers search for and establish affective openings that conjure moments of fabulous world-making.
