Paris Is Burning: Film Screening
Mar
16

Paris Is Burning: Film Screening

Join us for a free (donations accepted) screening of PARIS IS BURNING. An incredibly powerful documentary from 1990.

Where does voguing come from, and what, exactly, is throwing shade? This landmark documentary provides a vibrant snapshot of the 1980s through the eyes of New York City’s African American and Latinx Harlem drag-ball scene. Made over seven years, Paris Is Burning offers an intimate portrait of rival fashion “houses,” from fierce contests for trophies to house mothers offering sustenance in a world rampant with homophobia, transphobia, racism, AIDS, and poverty. Featuring legendary voguers, drag queens, and trans women—including Willi Ninja, Pepper LaBeija, Dorian Corey, and Venus Xtravaganza—Paris Is Burning brings it, celebrating the joy of movement, the force of eloquence, and the draw of community.
- The Criterion Collection

This event will include an introduction video by Princess Brittany.

September Adult Book Club: Boys Run The Riot

Meet at the Colony Room, off of the Hive at Hannah Grimes Marketplace, 25 Roxbury Street. All are welcome!

A transgender teen finds an escape from the expectations and anxieties of his daily life in the world of street fashion in this personal, heartfelt story from a transgender manga creator.

AT THE SEAMS

High schooler Ryo knows he’s transgender, but he doesn’t have anyone to confide in about the confusion he feels. He can’t tell his best friend, who he’s secretly got a crush on, and he can’t tell his mom, who’s constantly asking why Ryo “dresses like a boy.” He certainly can’t tell Jin, the new transfer student who looks like just another bully… The only time Ryo feels at ease is when he’s wearing his favorite clothes. Then, and only then, the world melts away, and he can be his true self. One day, while out shopping, Ryo sees someone he didn’t expect: Jin. The kid who looked so tough in class has the same taste in fashion as him! At last, Ryo has someone he can open up to—and the journey ahead might finally give him a way to express himself to the world.
