QUEERING SEX is a performance and video exhibition that features the work of artists who are dealing with gender and sexuality. This cross-generational, trans-historical video program explores sex and sexuality via ideas and actions related to performance, and thereby highlighting a relationship between performativity and identity. The exhibition includes the participation of over 40 artists from Los Angeles, New York, and abroad.

QUEERING SEX needs your support please visit the kickstarter page to help bring this project to Los Angeles!!

Roseanne Barr was a sitcom star, a creator and a product, the agitator and the abused, a domestic goddess and a feminist pioneer. That was twenty years ago. But as far as she’s concerned, not much has changed.

Burden Baskets have been used by different groups of Native American people for various purposes, primarily for gathering seed, grain, fruit, wood, and personal belongings.

These baskets are made by Nanette Sullano using a coiling technique, inspired by traditional forms, with braided cotton rope, vegan suede lace, and leather. They are available in two shapes (womb or cone), three sizes for womb (small, medium, large), one size for cone (medium), and four vegan suede lace and leather colors (black, brown, golden, gray). All braided rope is 100 percent cotton and natural in color.

SHAKEDOWN is the story of a black lesbian strip club in Los Angeles. The film is anchored in the stories of three women: Ronnie Ron, the creator and emcee of Shakedown, a large butch/stud lesbian and former Jehovah’s Witness; Egypt, a single mother, beauty pageant fanatic, and dedicated self - (re)inventor; and Jazmyne, the complicated and sometimes conflicted “Queen” of Shakedown. We go through the process of their labor with them and record what they do, and how they feel about what they are doing.

We need your help to complete the edit of the film, master the sound and score, color correct the images, fly to LA to shoot our final interviews with the dancers and have an amazing premiere in cities across America.
