Trans Narratives: Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers

In this month-long series, artists both behind and in front of the camera show diversity in what it means to be trans. These varied stories give a platform to a group of folks whose right to exist continues to be questioned by patriarchal power structures. At a time when we find ourselves in a heightened period of attempts to erase the very idea of trans-ness from our society—with particularly heinous and pernicious laws here in Iowa—we celebrate Pride Month with a survey of trans narratives across generations, locations, and aesthetics.

This is a collaborative event between LIAL and FilmScene. Before the film, we’ll introduce the historical context for the film, gathered from LIAL’s non-fiction materials.
