What is the formal impact of a trip? In States of the Body Produced by Love, Nisha Ramayya burrowed into Sanskrit, one of her lost ancestral languages, via the means of a imperialist and imperialising dictionary, ‘dragging lamps’ into the shafts she’d dug. Now, the trips which concern her most recent work are of a more hallucinatory, ascendant nature. Peter Scalpello explores the formal potentialities of chemsex (use of drugs in sex), and a foray into modes of queer becoming or evasion – which is complemented with work in their day job as as sexual health therapist. Chaired by Oluwaseun Olayiwola.
