A curation of shortform content programmed in partnership with Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project (QWOCMAP) that includes alumni of both QWOCMAP’s Filmmaker Training Program and annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival. QWOCMAP uses film to shatter stereotypes and bias, reveal the lived truth of inequality, and build understanding and community. QWOCMAP creates, exhibits, and distributes high-impact films that authentically reflect the lives of queer women of color (cisgender & transgender), and nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and transgender people of color (of any orientation), and address the vital, intersecting social justice issues that concern their multiple communities. QWOCMAP’s vision nurtures filmmakers as artist-activist leaders for change.
Femme Queen Chronicles is a web-series about the lives of four black trans women as they navigate through love, life, trade, and shade in the city of Detroit; written, directed, and brought to life by black trans women themselves. In Episode One, the four friends just try to make it through the day without getting clocked as trans women — or clocking someone else over the head instead.
