How does one make an institution – its buildings, human relations, technological interfaces – disappear? What effects does such a rendering invisible have? In this keynote, Fatima Naqvi (@yale ) argues that the hospital’s invisibility is not a by-product of twenty-first century digitalization and the spatial dispersal of care into ancillary spaces, but a constitutive feature of its formation as a civic infrastructure since the late nineteenth century.

On Monday 13 April at 18.00 CET, the NECS Feminist and Queer Research Workgroup is hosting a public #lecture by Jasmina Tumbas (@universityatbuffalo ) on how contemporary artists queer Yugoslav (dis)integration and reveal contradictions in identity politics and representation in contemporary art and culture: their art unsettles fixed identities, moral integrity, and European belonging.
