An event as part of the lecture series "Kunst - Forschung - Geschlecht"
(Art - Research - Gender).
An overview of queer slangs, code-mixing, and algospeak
as ways minorities empower their communities, communicate more safely, and envision better futures.
This lecture offers
an overview of queer slangs and their role in community-forming and belonging. It seeks to showcase one of the ways creativity
and playfulness can, (through language as an open-source bottom-up tool) bypass authorities, provide a humorous respite from
everyday violence, and even offer glimpses of alternative world-making.

Anti-gender and digital authoritarianismIn the academic year 2025/26, the lecture series
looks at anti-gender politics and policies in art, culture and society in the digital realm. The series asks how reactionary
actors dismantle concepts of equality, justice, and sexual/reproductive rights, especially in and through digital media. Furthermore,
it wants to highlight artistic practices and societal alliances that disrupt these media narratives, and generate counter-narratives
to the anti-liberal, authoritarian, discriminatory, racist and extremist ideologies.
