"When You Were Mine: The Queerness of Prince"
This project engages late-70s/early 80s output of music artist Prince to think about how his sonic, lyrical, and sartorial choices disrupted and challenged prevailing industry structures and parameters that dictated performances of blackness and masculinity in popular music. The project also traces the ways that Prince's music and affect contributed to the author's own relationship to gender and sexuality, and his development as a writer
