Queer Genius

QUEER GENIUS explores the remarkable lives of five queer female artists: Barbara Hammer, Eileen Myles, Black Quantum Futurism, Moor Mother, and Dynasty Handbag / Jibz Cameron.

Deep, affectionate, and intimate portraits resonate across generation as critically acclaimed and notoriously radical queer artists overcome personal and political obstacles to find new ways to live and share visionary creative practices.

"Queer Genius" is a creative documentary featuring fine artist portraits of QPOC & GLBTQ Female experimental artists. The film examines each artist’s creative life, personal challenges, and asks the provocative question “what is genius?” Each subject provides a unique and personal perspective on new ways to think about and subvert the concept of what visionary practices mean from a queer, female, fine arts perspective discussing and preserving queer female avant garde legacies across generation.
