Abstract
Decolonial queer knowledges enact the practice of visual aesthetics through an embodiment of desire, memory, and non-normative sexualities. Traversing the transnational continuum of queer decolonial aesthesis, this chapter engages with the conceptualization of pluri-knowledges that artists excavate through their memory and familiar archive of language, body, and performance. It attempts to define how decolonial queer knowledges emerge through artistic practices in global-local circulations. The resignification of queerness through the site of invisibilised production of Queer and Trans People from the global South is crucial to fully comprehend the import of decolonial queer knowledges. Centring on specific examples of artists and performers from the global South and its diasporas, this chapter attempts to delineate the queer knowledges analytic that is being articulated in disparate transnational locations as both critique of hegemonic queerness and extension of decolonial politics.
