Duration: 01:21:00
Many of us assume that there are only two genders and that being female or male follows from the sex of our biological bodies. Focusing on the art, photography and performances of six “alternative” gender artists of Maori, Samoan-Japanese, and Pakeha descent, the film “Assume Nothing” poses the questions: What if “male” and “female” are not the only options? How do other genders express themselves through art?” In search for answers, the film travels from Wellington’s Red Rocks to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to document photographer Rebecca Swan’s vibrant and sensitive exploration of the potent creative world that flourishes between and beyond genders. “Assume Nothing” takes its title from Rebecca Swan's book "Assume Nothing" (2004). |
