From early rock clubs to 1990s club kids and genderfuck, the art form of nightlife has been a fertile ground for expansive and fluid forms of identity to be freely expressed and celebrated. Rarely traditionally documented, much of this history was captured in films, television, and other moving image works. Gathering a survey of these such works, If You Label Me, You Negate Me: Nightlife and Identity in Moving Image presents short films from the Walker’s Ruben/Bentson Moving Image collection, with clips that trace the role queer nightlife has had on disseminated expansive expressions of identity.
