Effeminate Pharaoh

This event was an online performance by artist Monira Al Qadiri, presented with Korean subtitles, followed by a Q&A session.

This lecture performance tells how a story about a cross-dressing female pharaoh and her lover informs Monira Al Qadiri’s exploration of our yearning for intimacy. Combining video, text, and sound, this performance delves into our need for touch, even when time and time again disease, war, and erasure ravage our shared sense of being in the world.
