Description
Avery Arden (they/ze, MDiv) joins with guests of various genders & religious backgrounds to break down every human binary — from male/female to light/dark, and from faith/doubt to sacred/profane. Between & beyond dualistic divides, what collective liberation can we imagine into being, together?
While the show centers around transgender experiences of faith, it also explores neurodiversity & disability justice, intersectional solidarity, resisting Christian nationalism & supersessionism, and more.
