This program showcases work that challenges societally induced stereotypes and perceptions about racial and sexual identity; it questions notions of abjection, self-discovery, love, anger, desire, personal politics, empowerment, and assimilation. The tension created both within and between these works generates and explores a space of ambivalence about identity and representation. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people struggle within this space to create personal identities out of the multiplicity of identities that so many of us can rightfully lay claim to in an often confusingly diverse world. These tapes deal with the myths, perceptions, and realities of our lives and expose the way lesbian and gay artists represent not only our own identities and realities, but those of others as well.
