We Are Family

Family feels like a synonym to queerness. Whether we rebel against it, try to replicate it, rebuild it, release it, transmute it or erase it, family—by birth or by choice​—is the way queer folk often make sense of the world and how it is survived. This set of films bring us the struggle of finding ourselves, the inherent power of omission through survival, as well as the glow of acceptance, and yassification of who we believe ourselves to be. 

La familia se siente sinónima del ser queer. Ya sea que nos rebelemos contra ella, tratemos de replicarla, reconstruirla, liberarla, transmutarla o borrarla, la familia —por nacimiento o por elección—es la forma en que las personas queer a menudo damos sentido al mundo y cómo se sobrevive. Este conjunto de películas nos trae la lucha de encontrarnos a nosotres mismes, el poder inherente de la omisión a través de la sobrevivencia, así como el brillo de la aceptación y la yassificación de lo que creemos que somos.
