Description

What Now?: On Future Identities examines the notion of 'future identities', through discussions around the construction of the self, queer theory, self-determination, mutability, the body, technology, and social media, as well as the ever-evolving relationship between the digital and the material. Bringing together contributions from artists, curators, educators, cultural theorists and psychologists, alongside artists interventions, What Now?: On Future Identities is the second in a series of publications that coincide with a symposium of the same name, held by Art in General, New York.
The book considers how this contemporary political moment is different from the kinds of activism that arose around identity politics during the 1960s through to the 1990s, and how new thinking might shape ideas around 'performing citizenship'.
