How do Queer people of Colour (QPOC) find out about our history? How can we know about our history when so much becomes myth and gossip or when historians research through a Eurocentric ciscentric heteronormative paradigm? VISIBLE explore the challenges of QPOC history. VISIBLE is directed by Campbell X and produced by Kayza Rose.
