Underlying radical transfeminism — as an urgent critique of fixed identities and binary logics — is the call for a new kind of thinking, one capable of making sense in between lives in transformation (i.e. all lives) and the relative truths they produce.
“In this workshop, we will trace the outlines of the interactions between poetics — a means of experimenting with linguistic structures to unearth meanings, knowledges and affects — with multilogics, an approach to variable truth formations and axiomatic orderings. Nat and Mijke will discuss these approaches from the perspective of radical transfeminism, with a particular focus on the ‘anti-static’ as a means to refuse the stable order of reproduction and the stasis of the class war, with its redistribution of resources from rich to poor. Radical transfeminism concerns itself with finding ways of negation, refusal and navigation between the logics, evaluations, and affects of dominant orders, opening relations between different logics that emerge from within forms of life. Transfeminist and queer bodies are at the centre of such actions and refusals, opened by poetics as a means to negation and affirmation between the fault lines of cohering orders.” - Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift
