In this episode, we talk with Chris E. Vargas, a video maker & interdisciplinary artist whose work deploys humor and performance in conjunction with mainstream idioms to explore the complex ways that queer and trans people negotiate spaces for themselves within historical & institutional memory and popular culture. We talked with him about his web-based trans/cisgender sitcom Falling In Love...with Chris and Greg, and Homotopia and its feature-length sequel Criminal Queers movies. We have an extensive conversation about MOTHA, the Museum of Transgender Hirstory & Art, a critical and conceptual arts & hirstory institution highlighting the contributions of trans art to the cultural and political landscape.
