Abstract / Summary

This paper will explore how expanded re-enactment is utilised within feminist, queer and decolonial photographic practices to destabilize ways in which narratives of the past are narrowly constructed to privilege hegemonic conformity. As Rebecca Schneider (2011, p. 2) has identified ‘the syncopated time of re-enactment, where then and now punctuate each other’ can elicit possibilities for temporal disruption and in doing so can create space for for feminine, queer and POC, artists to critically engage with their own cultural mythologies and origin stories and becomes a method for deconstructing histories of normative oppression.
