Abstract

This article considers three digital, time-based projects – by micha cárdenas, Meriem Bennani and Rashaad Newsome – in which digital avatars function as posthuman drag, reaching beyond their particular contexts to drag normative understandings of space, time and kinning. In proffering queer and trans of colour perspectives as an ethical imperative of, and precondition for, humanity’s persistence into the future, these works challenge the ontological formations that undergird the neo-liberal project, and in being designed to circulate beyond queer and trans communities, they mobilize queer and trans strategies for survival and redress beyond the confines of queer and trans spaces and lives. The dis/junctures at the core of these three works bring into focus a set of new ways of thinking the body beyond whiteness, where the post- of the human is a way of staging time so as to lose white-dominant culture.
