2026, archival research, proposal

Working through “cruising” as a non-linear method of movement and research, I move between landscape and archive, following indirect paths, encounters, and gaps. Walking, performative gestures, and photographic and video documentation are combined with archival research and interventions such as annotation and redaction.

What emerges is not a reconstruction of queer history in the region, but a dispersed counterarchive shaped by absence, where fragments begin to accumulate and reveal how memory persists without fully appearing.
