A conversation between hybrid visual and performance artist Cassils, founder of Trans Equity Consulting and Faltas author Cecilia Gentili, and genderless dragon Tiamat Legion Medusa on body modification as an expansive site of freedom and embodiment. Moderated by psycho-analyst and internationally recognized expert on gender identity Griffin Hansbury, this panel draws its title from Ellen Samuel’s book of the same name, combining literary analysis, legal history, and visual culture in tracing the roots and evolution of contemporary understandings of bodily identity.
