Manolagayatri Kumarswamy’s recent paper, “Towards a Lesbian Transpersonal/Transnational Political Aesthetic,” analyzed the Maud Allan Studies, which I developed with Sandra Chatterjee and Meena Murugesan through the Post Natyam Collective’s Queering Abhinaya process.  Her paper was presented at the Geographies of Sexualities Conference at the Università di Roma on 16-18 September 2015.

Here is one of our in-progress studies, which attempts to queer the camera’s gaze through a fluid, reciprocal gaze.  For the original theoretical and creative context that gave rise to this study, go here.
