Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR)

In 1958, Agnes, a young trans woman, participated in a study of gender disorders' at UCLA with the goal of gender reassignment treatment. Her story was long considered extraordinary until 2017 when never-before-seen files of other patient:s were found. Framing Agnes uses methods of re-enactment and cross-genre storytelling to breathe new life into previously unknown people who redefined gender in the mid-20th century, and presents a selection of conversations from these case studies in a re-enactment of contemporary trans activists*. Framing Agnes thus enters into a multi-voiced discussion about definitions and projections of sexuality and gender not only in the 1950s.
