A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.

A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
