Kiss & Tell, 'Borderline Disorderly'

Description

Lesbian art collective Kiss & Tell's Borderline Disorderly draws on their experiences as artists and activists to confront the complexity of making art as queer Canadians. This performance is about artistic process, censorship, the gulf between image and representation, perceptions of queers and artists, and an affirmation of pleasure.
