Kunstenares iO Tillett Wright heeft 2.000 mensen gefotografeerd die zichzelf als niet-hetero beschouwen. Ze vroeg hen: kun je in een percentage aangeven hoe homo of hetero je bent? De meeste mensen bleken zich in een grijs gebied te schalen, niet 100% homo of hetero. Wat een probleem is voor discriminatie: waar leg je de scheidslijn? (Gefilmd op TEDxWomen.)

As a child actor, iO Tillett Wright turned her shoes around in the bathroom stall so that people would think she was a boy. As a teenager, she fell in love with both women and men. Her life in the grey areas of gender and sexuality deeply inform her work as an artist. Full bio »
