“Afro-Asian Visions links past with present and the future imaginary,” says Queer Rebels co-founder Celeste Chan. Queer Rebels co-founder KB Boyce adds: “We curate queer of color art that embraces the margins.” Afro-Asian Visions traverses the Civil Rights era to Transatlantic memories; Japanese anarchists to K-pop dreamscapes; and genderqueer fantasia to sexperimental video. “From jazz to punk to poetry, people of color have roots in experimentation,” says Boyce. “We have always been creating out of necessity.” Chansays, “Paying homage to innovative people of color, these films question – what histories do we inherit, and what do we need to create?”

 

Screening will be followed by a Q&A with Queer Rebels co-founders KB Boyce and Celeste Chan.  Come support queer experimental films!

Queer Rebels was founded in 2008 by artists K.B. Boyce and Celeste Chan to connect generations, honor our histories with art for the future, and highlight radical, experimental, and intergenerational art by queer and trans people of color: www.queerrebels.com
