Carlos Motta Gender Talents

Description

Gender Talents is an experimental documentary and video installation about how an international and intergenerational group of transgender, intersex, gender-benders and neutral-gender advocates are constructing alternative gender identities in a transphobic world defined by rigid perceptions of gender as categorically binary: man/woman. Carlos Motta’s work will be a multi-channel, interview-based documentary video installation in chapters—each composed of interviews as well as original and archival footage. Gender Talents will investigate how some individuals thoughtfully perform gender as a personal, social and political opportunity rather than as a social condemnation.
