Performing Gender

You can read the essay version of the talk I gave here.

An audio visual presentation and conversation featuring Sharon Chin, Shika Corona, Sharaad Kuttan and Edwin Sumun, moderated by Thilaga, founder of Justice for Sisters, that will explore femininity, masculinity, gender performativity and the diverse expressions and manifestations of gender through art and performance.

Here is an article on gender expression and identities that will give you an idea of the topic that they will talk about: http://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/books/2015/03/12/tbt-when-cross-dressing-was-crime
