The project inquires how collective resistance emerges from queering spatial practices in creative industries. In the last decades, queer perspectives and inquiries of resistance have received increasing attention in studies of organizations and organizing. However, research on the organization of resistance through queer collective practice is rare. QueerSpace therefore raises the research question: "How does collective resistance emerge from queering spatial practices in creative industries?". The study builds on theories of resistance, space, and affect and draws on qualitative ethnographic data collected with queer collectives in the creative industries of Zurich and Vienna. Investigations include different kinds of queer collectives (drag performance collectives, queer music collectives, and queer contemporary art collectives) in the two cities, highlighting the role of the urban space context and the collectives’ embeddedness in the different art scenes. Focusing on organizational forces of resistance through art, QueerSpace emphasizes collectives that dedicate themselves to challenge dominant norms of gender and sexuality by creating spaces of resistance in which minority experiences are validated. In investigating these spaces, the study applies an affective ethnographic approach and draws on queer affective methodologies to investigate how affect becomes communal as it emerges from collective encounters in the form of atmospheres with organizational forces. By studying queering spatial practices through an affect-theoretical lens, QueerSpace contributes to existing research on the organization of resistance with a queer perspective and insights into the collective aspect of organizing resistance.
