Media creates horizons of possibility that in turn shape reality. When transgender people create audiovisual media, rather than simply being represented in it, their worldmaking helps change our collective world.
Under the directorship of Dr. Laura Horak, the Transgender Media Lab at Carleton University investigates the aesthetic, political, and cultural work of audiovisual media created by transgender, Two Spirit, nonbinary, intersex, and gender-nonconforming filmmakers and artists.
As part of that investigation, the lab has built the Transgender Media Portal, a site that enables users to discover films and videos by trans creators.
