Every Body, a film screening and discussion

Who are Intersex People? What challenges do we face? What is IGM or Intersex Genital Mutilation? How are Intersex and Queer-Feminist Liberation Linked? What can Intersex Resistance and Joy look like in the face of oppressive regimes?

Join us for a screening of the documentary film Every Body, which follows the Intersex activists River Gallo (they/them), Alicia Roth Weigel (she/they), and Sean Saifa Wall (he/him) as they unpack these questions and more.

This evening intends to create a much needed space to acknowledge and celebrate the intersex community, a largely under- and mis-represented “I” in the LGBTQIA+ community. Following the film there will be the opportunity to share reflections and take part in a student-led discussion.

The film focuses on empowerment and resistance and centers intersex voices and experiences. However, due to the lived realities of many intersex people and the film’s commitment to educate others, the following content notes are advised: Medical Abuse and Trauma, Queer-, Trans- and Inter-phobia, Mental Health challenges and references to suicide. 

This event is presented by the Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network as part of the Thinking Towards Feminist Futures event series, and it is co-hosted by BCB’s Equal Opportunity, Participation and Nondiscrimination Office.
