The Alphabet of Feeling Bad
The Alphabet of Feeling Bad is a collaboration with Berlin-based artist Karin Michalski, who filmed me doing a performance/lecture in which I presented an abecediary of terms related to "feeling bad" (and queer affect theory) while sitting on a bed inspired by Tracey Emin's My Bed. The project has had a remarkable life across multiple media - including art exhibitions, an audio recording, and textual publications of many kinds. I wrote an article that provides an overview of the project and how it has fed into Public Feelings writing workshops of various kinds. I am grateful to Karin for the opportunity to turn my ideas into art.
