Trans Narratives: North by Current

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, LIAL will read from one of their nonfiction books to contextualize the film. Afterwards, join us for an archives activity!

Entry is pay what you can.
