SIMONA CASTRICUM Presents: “How queer music communities present the conditions within which to create architecture.”

Castricum will explore how transfeminine and non-binary music spaces manifest creatively, politically, physically, sexually as architectural space. Her talk will pose the question: upon the thresholds of risk and pleasure; what strategies are engaged to find safer spaces that destabilise normativity and sexual and gender binaries?

SIMONA CASTRICUM is a musician and architecture academic from Melbourne—Naarm. As a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne, her work explores gender nonconforming experiences in architecture and urban space. Simona performs as a solo artist, and with SaD, and a radio broadcaster on RRR and PBS.
