Wrapping this American Gothic Hell House tradition with yard upon illustrated, elaborately decorated yard of spirited craft aesthetic, Mitchell mobilizes her “deep lez” commitment to radical queer world-making potential. Through it, she conjures new kinds of representations of feminist sexuality and queer concepts of community and activism.

Sit down and process with real celebrity feminist lesbian killjoys: Ann Cvetkovich, Sarah Schulman, Ann Pelligrini and more.
