Hosts Leo Torre and Indigo Korres interview Ava Ruah about her work as a projectionist and film curator who programmed the series of screenings Transcendent at the Dundee Contemporary Arts at the end of 2022. As Ava mentioned: "Transcendent for me is an exploration of the ways that people exceed and push past perceived gender and sexual norms. It is about showcasing these expanded and transgressed norms especially across generations, recognising that it is for people of any age. Critically it's also about acknowledging the long and deep history of these cultures and movements."
