This talk, presented in conjunction with the UA Institute for LGBT Studies Miranda Joseph Lecture, advances queer, feminist, anti-colonial, and indigenous modes of thinking about the futures of Palestine at the borderlands of US empire. Kapadia argues that a queer feminist analysis of visionary aesthetics in the work of London-based Palestinian visual artist Larissa Sansour provides an alternate lens through which to understand the “facts-on-the-ground” of contemporary US/Israeli security policing and counterinsurgency warfare in Palestine. By closely reading her science fiction film trilogy series as a form of knowledge and critique, Kapadia questions what speculative architecture, outer space, and Arab futurisms together might yield for thinking Palestinian liberation and indigenous sovereignty otherwise. This talk further probes the speculative ends of US empire and its forever wars of security and counterterrorism.
