Project Description

My Teachers — this video work portrays an intergenerational exchange between the artist's mentor and mentee. It constructs and explores a space of intimacy through performance and through the enactment of embodied histories that at times conflate, and at others diverge without compromise. The project considers the political stakes of the Women's Building within a contemporary framework of queerness, and touches on recent discussions about the lack of "safe spaces" for queer and people of color communities.
