Kiki
LGBTQ youth-of-colour gather out on the Christopher Street Pier, NYC, practicing a performance-based artform, Ballroom, made famous in the early 1990s by Madonna’s music video Vogue and the documentary Paris Is Burning. Now, a new and very different generation have formed an artistic activist subculture - the Kiki Scene. Kiki delves into their battles with homelessness, illness and prejudice as well as their gains towards political influence and the conquering of affirming gender-expressions.
Presented in association with Glitch Film Festival. We will be joined after the screening for a Q&A with Twiggy Pucci Garçon, Kiki co-writer and Kiki “gatekeeper”.
