Pride and Prejudice: Collective for South Asian Queer Feminist Studies Details
Young professionals developing discourse, analysis and action on LGBTQIA+ cultural and policy issues unique to the South Asian* indigenous experience; as part of the decolonisation process of the Indian Subcontinent.Why do we exist?Anti-queer narrative, as a colonial tool, was designed to erase our culture, divide our people and blur our identities. Unfortunately, after decades of independence, the hate persists. Our goal is to eliminate this and restore, develop and advance this non-normative and heterogenous understanding of love and personhood; in-line with our liberation from caste, creed and class barriers.It is our understanding that western queer identities can never fully encompass the complexities of the South Asian indigenous queer experience. So we must document and immortalise our own stories and design theory which speaks to us.We must decolonize our minds.What do we do?We curate, organise, analyse and publish queer feminist theory with a goal to - 1. further develop South Asian queer theory2. study the various intersections of decolonial theory and queer political identity3. raise awareness and rally for human rights*South Asian includes India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Nepal
