Panel Discussion on ‘From Archive to Activism: Queer & Trans* Cultural Work’ | QAMRA Archival Project
July 13, 2025
The Queer Archive for Memory Reflection and Activism (QAMRA) hosted a panel discussion titled ‘From Archive to Activism: Queer & Trans* Cultural Work’ at the Museum of Art and Photography, Bengaluru, on July 13, 2025.
About the panel discussion
This event brought community organisers, academics, and activists together in conversation about how the worlds of queer-and-trans community-building, knowledge production and information dissemination, and progressive social change, intersect.
The panellists shared a unique connection with QAMRA, an autonomous community archive at the National Law School of India University in Bengaluru. Through their lightning talks and a moderated roundtable, they reflected on the past, present, and future of queer and trans* cultural organising, involving distinct forms of resistance and joy.
*(*) In Trans acknowledges the diversity of gender identities and expressions beyond the binary, reflecting the inclusive scope of this conversation.
