“…Territorialization, spatial occupation, disruptive visibility -these are but a few of the ways to conceptualize focal strategies in any queer liberatory project, past or present. Other concepts often appropriated in queer research are those of constellations (Gieseking 2020), monumentality (Dunn 2016), heritage (Immonen 2022), archives (Brunow 2020), and memorials (Zebracki & Leitner 2022). What they have in common, by and large, is that they index a veritable surge of interest in interdisciplinary queer and LGBTQ+ studies.…”

RECENTLY, TRAVELLERS AND visitors passing through Oslo's Central Station (Oslo S) -the busiest and most visited public building in Norway -could rest their weary eyes on large, imposing artworks by Norwegian-Sudanese queer artist Ahmed Umar, who was in fact the cover artist of a previous issue of lambda nordica (see Umar 2021). Each picture in his series of eight black and white photos, titled Carrying the Face of Ugliness, shows the artist standing in front of another person, benevolently hiding their face, making their identity unknown. Umar assumes a protective yet vulnerable stance before them, staring defiantly at us, or at least at someone. The Oslo S exhibition, part of a national public art project in public transport hot spots titled Kunstreisen (Art Travel), showed four of Umar's photos, with accompanying texts introducing the anonymized individuals and their stories in a subjective format. As the first openly gay man in Sudan and a recognized artist living abroad in Norway, Umar's objective with Carrying the Face of Ugliness was to lend his face and position to queers in Sudan, where homosexuality remains illegal, and support the collective struggle for liberation and dignity (Kunstreisen 2022). This issue's cover art, A Butch Is a Butch Is a Butch Is a Butch by Norwegian lesbian performance choreographer duo Marte Reithaug Sterud

“…O exemplo do acervo de Bahia Pontes evidencia a situação de fragilidade do legado de mulheres e pessoas LGBTQIA+ em meio às instituições, e em função disso é possível quea prática arquivista e a realização de pesquisas intervenham na historiografia fílmica que obliterou a presença e a agência das mulheres diretoras (BRUNOW, 2019). A análise de sua trajetória e suas obras podem desmobilizar a tentativa dos arquivos de serem apenas espaço onde os sujeitos queer se colocam como sujeitos históricos, mesmo que feito no contexto de 2019).…”
