Tulips (DE)

Tulips

In Tulips, artist duo Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings, alongside scholar Christina B. Hanhardt, map a terrain where they explore gestures of authority and obedience in the public space within the urban context of austerity, gentrification and policing.

The work of Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings (b. 1991 in Newcastle and 1991 in London, live and working in London) deals with the socio-cultural and political structures that reinforce conservatism and discriminatory practices within and around the LGBTQIA+ community. In their works the artist duo explores how the queer community's "safe spaces" have been displaced by political strategies and how a history of femininity and the colonized body in the transition to capitalism is shaped by rationalization of social reproduction and ownership of the self.

Christina B. Hanhardt (lives and works in New York) is Associate Professor in the Department of American Studies. Her research focuses on the historical and contemporary study of U.S. social movements and cities since the mid-20th century, with an emphasis on the politics of stigma, punishment, and uneven development.
