About the event
“Gut-busting, ass-erupting and immoderately whorish” is how Mirha-Soleil Ross described her raw, unruly, and politically charged video work. Emerging in the ’90s as a sex worker, activist, and performance artist, Ross collaborated with t4t lover Xanthra MacKay and the Quebec Transexuals Association. Her tapes blur documentary, autobiography, and provocation, documenting trans and sex worker communities with care. TGirlsonFilm presents a rare screening of her vital video art — fierce meditations on gender, desire, animal rights, and reproductive politics. Gender troublemakers rejoice!
With a post-screening discussion between writer, historian, artist and friend of Ross, Morgan M Page and Jaye Hudson from TGirls On Film
