Based in Europe, three authors deploy geopoetics as a praxis to position their performance art practices within current debates on race, gender, and sexuality in art and academia. They speak from displacement as a mode of mobility into Belgium, where they engage in decolonial work. The article unfolds a relational approach to voicing resistance.
Writing from distinct translocalities, the authors merge European, South African, Nepali, Iranian, sexual, gendered, religious, and racial geographies into geopoetics. The article navigates geopoetics as a praxis through three academic-artistic practices, contributing to a shared theoretical framework that builds on the work of queer and feminist scholars. Each author explores a different yet interconnected dimension of literacy, and together they propose a common framework of voicing translocal disidentifications as geopoetic literacy.
