This will look at the ways our embodied experiences are shaped by our gender, and explore what it means to support trans siblings in practice. This session will be led by Tripod.

A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.
