*Kind invitation:*

*Queering Identity in Music: Perspectives from Ethnomusicology*
The 2021 MMRC Lecture

*Thursday, November 11, 2021, 7:00 pm (CET)*
Participation possible on site and via Zoom and livestream.

Contesting fixed conceptions of identity increasingly informs political
activism among several marginalized communities in Europe and beyond. Such
approaches to activism challenge political struggles that are based on more
traditional notions of identity. These developments are also operative in a
range of musical practices. Drawing on examples from the LGBTQ+ community
and minority communities in India, the 2021 MMRC Lecture sheds light on the
relevance as well as the challenges of queering identity for minority
studies and minority politics by bringing together scholarly, activist, and
artistic viewpoints.

*Thomas R. Hilder* (Associate Professor in Ethnomusicology, Norwegian
University of Science and Technology, Trondheim) will deliver this year’s
keynote on “Choral Activism, LGBTQ+ Rights, Queering Identity in 21st
Century Europe,” which will be followed by a response by
ethnomusicologist *Rasika
Ajotikar* (British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of
Development Studies, SOAS University of London). A voguing performance by
the *Kiki House of Dive* will artistically complement the discourse.

Event held in English.
