Resisting Narratives of Erasure
Resisting Narratives of Erasure is a filmmakers lab advancing liberatory narratives from LGBTQIA+ Southern-based media artists and filmmakers of color.

Our Films
Grrrl Justice is a short narrative film exploring the pathways of girls and queer youth of color into the juvenile justice system. It uses gender and sexuality as a framework for understanding their rising rates of incarceration. Through the lead characters in this powerful triptych, we also come to understand the power of story and the necessity of art and youth led community spaces in their healing and liberation.
