Queer in the States episode 3:
Kate Bornstein

A person with strong powerful energy. A writer, performer and activist. Kate Bornstein happened to be in Seattle when I was there, and I got the honour to get an hour of her full attention the day after her performance at the Bent Showcase.
Enjoy her wiseness and wittyness, and her interesting analysis of queer and LGBT-politics in the States and Europe.

(In the room was also my friend Sarah Adorable and we talked about the interview for hours afterwards. Meeting Kate was an exciting and special moment.)

Queer in the States episode 2:
Interview: Adrienne Anemone.

The queer performance artist Adrienne Anemone
grew up in the conservative south, Texas, and now lives
in New York City. I met her at a bar in
Lower East Side in NYC, where she told me about her music, performances, the Pride parade in NYC and Austin, her childhood in Texas and much more.

Queer in the States

In USA this last winter I interviewed amazing people
all over the country about queer culture in their cities, about
what's going on there and what they themselves are up to.

Episode 1: Silky Shoemaker

This is Silky Shoemaker from Austin who organizes a queer culture event called Camp Camp. It has been an important meeting point for the creative DIY-queer scene in Austin.
Silky also organizes the queer music festival GayBiGayGay.
Hear about how Texas is conservative, about the DIY-scene in Austin and what Silky did at the Pride parade!

Music: Gracias song (written and played by Gracia)

De passerar en håla som INGEN har hört om... Där händer det
konstiga saker som får dem att undra om Bishop ens verkligen existerar... LYSSNA och RYS!

SJUKT DÅLIG KVALITET I KNOW... SORRY!

The amazing author Michelle Tea talks about her book and the queer scene
in San Fransisco's The Mission in the 90's. More coming!
This is just an example from my Queer Culture in the States project.

Jag får välja ut musik själv och såhär går det!

Den 1a maj i Malmö i år var det stor demonstration och
många i den kom från organisationen Hardqueer.
Här får du höra peppkommentar från Biggan, kärleksfull information från Therese om Hardqueer, mansrolls-hat från Tung
och en inblick i hur man demonstrerade förr av Kerstin som demonstrerat i många år.

Det är sommar och 2007 och min vän Lina gör ett inslag till P3 i Sverige om queerlivet i Berlin. Jag berättar och berättar, ska ni dit så lyssna väl!
