| dc.description | <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <p>The notion of pride in the context of queer activism and community organising has been questioned by South and South-East Asian scholars and practitioners regarding its Eurocentric genealogies, its emphasis on visibility, and its reliance on capitalist and consumerist practices. This article builds on an online public panel discussion hosted at Heidelberg University on 15 May 2023 on the theme of queer activism in South and South-East Asia in the lead-up to the event ‘Bangga di Bali’, the first large-scale LGBTQ+ pride parade in Indonesia initiated by grassroots communities Pelangi Nusantara and QLC Bali. The discussion below brought together activists, students, and scholars working in and across Indonesia, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka to think through different challenges and potentialities in the context of contemporary queer activism. The discussion examines the notion of pride and other queer activist strategies for their challenges and potentialities. The speakers explore decolonial approaches to activism in the context of the queer Indonesian music and activist scene, Khwaja Sira activism in Pakistan, and queer Eelam Tamil counter-narratives in Sri Lanka and the Eelam Tamil diaspora. Topics that are discussed include intersectional differences within queer communities, the risks of visible political activism, and the regional and global dynamics of funding.</p> </body> </html> | en_US |
