QUEER(Y)ING CHAOS MAGICK: adventures in queer weird chaos ritual and beyond

Queerying posits the subject – the self, the person, as unfixed, unstable, fluid, and perpetually becoming. It is a commitment to difference and diversity; complexity over simple assertions; open-endedness over prescriptive solutions; lived experience over abstractions. It is a refusal to be trapped in boxes or borders; a joyful, unruly wilfulness. Permission to be uncertain rather than expert; to embrace indeterminancy. Daemonic atavism, art, philosophy, literature all feed the queerying of chaos as ritual, practice and theory. Tonight will offer experiments in queerying chaos.
