#23 Decolonizing Sexual Health Queering the Perspective
-
- Education
Guest of this episode is the Egyptian-German writer, researcher, and health practitioner Ahmed Awadalla (they/them) . Awadalla's community practice centers on the well-being and participation of marginalized groups including LGBTIQA+ people, migrants, refugees, and young people. Their writing and research foreground the intersections between health, migration, and radical sexual politics and investigates queer identities, intimacies, and historical narratives. They contribute to various media publications, anthologies, and journals.
In this podcast we are speaking about global (sexual) health in the forms of epidemics like HIV/AIDS or Covid-19 and the connections with power structures upholding social hierarchies. We address the notions of fear, stigmatization of sexual diversity as well as racialization and colonial continuities. In the end, we also turn to the current case of Monkeypox and Awadalla elaborates on how they wish sexual health should be handled in the future from a community perspective.
This is the third edition of the artist talk series in cooperation with the QTL Summer Pride Festival
Note: sorry for the whitenoise in the background, there must have been some kind of issue with the recording, hope you still enjoy this episode
