Broughton x Evans

Arthur Evans’ Sorcellerie et contre-culture gay has been circulating in queer circles since the 1970s, but has only recently been translated into French by Editions du Passager Clandestin.
At the same time, several films by James Broughton and Joël Singer have been digitized and are once again available.

Two figures from the Californian counterculture come back to us at the same time: a time when the most unbridled fascism combines with a bewildering climate-negationism. Two figures with a common proposition: queers have always been the magicians who maintain an ecological relationship with the world. And without magic, there can be no revolution.

In the presence of Julien Princesse Didier, one of Evans’ translators, we’ll be asking ourselves how such a proposition could be inherited today.
