Queer identity revels in instability, fluidity, conflict, and difference. Across time and space, the ways in which we identify and exist are influenced by places, people, images, and ideas that we encounter. This program of experimental shorts highlights the sometimes messy, yet always productive, ways in which Queers are constantly forging new identities, and how these identities are often informed on past, present, and future concepts of self.
Wicked Queer is proud to co-present this program with
