Race Matters Series
The Other Harem: Photographing Brown Boys Eng-Beng Lim
MCC LOUNGE
The tropic spell of the Balinese photographic archive of Walter Spies and Colin McPhee (European artists) from the 1930s brings out a queer story that is imbricated in the visual representation of power relations between colonized and colonizer. Lim is interested in the kinds of questions that may be raised, in the spirit of Malek Alloula’s The Colonial Harem, around this set of photographs, and how they may relate to the work of Asian/American artists working on queer sexuality, visual culture and performance. Eng-Beng Lim is Assistant Professor of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies at Brown University. Co-sponsored by the Department of Asian American Studies.
