DESCRIPTION:Keioui Keijaun Thomas’s Come Hell or High Femmes— a three-part film—imagines a postapocalyptic world inhabited by Black trans and queer people. Focusing on camouflage and metamorphosis as modes of sur- vival and transcendence\, Thomas’s work envisions new pathways to understand and express the foundation- ally transient nature of being and becoming a doll—a trans femme so flawless and unbound she is no longer considered real. Within her imagined\, speculative en- vironment\, Thomas asks\, “Why are dolls the only ones left? Perhaps\, it is because trans femmes (often\, but not always) are forged in nocturnality\, where beauty and intelligence must learn to supersede time and space.\n \nIn the videos\, the artist explores a lush and verdant world\, wandering across hills\, babbling brooks\, and oceans. Come Hell or High Femmes reclaims what it means to be Black in nature—forging new ways to exist in peace and joy\, and to find healing in the midst of the American landscape.\n\nAct 1. She From Flurda\, but Some Call Ha Florida\, 2022\n \nAct 2. The Last Trans Femmes on Earth: Dripping Doll Energy\, 2021\n \nAct 3. I Looked Up at the Sky and I\, Imagined All of the Stars Were My Sisters\, 2020\n \nFunding Credits:\nCome Hell or High Femmes is made possible with funding from The MAP Fund\, supported by the Doris Duke Charitable Foun- dation\, Howard Gilman Foundation\, and Mellon Foundation.\n\nhttps://today.coloradocollege.edu/events/8895
