Transmasculine Desires: A Moving Image Exhibit

Sat Oct 15 2022
Ugly Duck, London

Join us for a celebration of the opening of the Trans Masc Moving Image Exhibit inspired by Otherness Archive’s first trans masc film program ‘the forgotten archives of the trans masc experience’.



A THREE DAY *TRANS MASC MOVING IMAGE EXHIBIT; A WIDE RANGE OF WORK FOCUSING ON THE NUANCES OF THE TRANS MASC EXPERIENCE.



A selection of moving image work from both international and national filmmakers and artists who submitted to our open call as well as films found by our researchers. The intention of this archival project and exhibit is to create potential ideas and thoughts on what a trans masc archive could look like. Additionally, to document the process of constructing an archive, rebuilding an archive, assembling an archive and how it can act as a no cost living resource for our community.
