Course Description

Overview

Explore a thought-provoking TEDx talk by photographer iO Tillett Wright, who shares insights from her project photographing 2,000 individuals across the LGBTQ spectrum. Delve into the complexities of gender and sexuality as Wright discusses her own experiences growing up between genders and sexualities. Learn about her unique approach to understanding sexual identity by asking participants to assign a percentage to their gay or straight orientation. Examine the challenges of discrimination when most people exist in the grey areas of sexuality, and consider the implications for drawing lines between identities. Filmed at TEDxWomen, this 18-minute presentation offers a fresh perspective on the fluidity of human sexuality and the limitations of rigid categorizations.
