An interdisciplinary celebration of queer kinship, radical gender performance, and belonging, Blood Baby offers a fresh and multifaceted exploration of the queer family experience through dance performances, interactive sculpture, readings, and community events. Presented in five parts in and around USC’s renowned ONE Archives, the series weaves together choreography by Meg Foley, video installation by Carmichael Jones, and scenic design by Rabbit AL Friedrich to center gender-nonconforming identities, queer family, sex-positivity, and trans voices at a time when political developments in the United States threaten their existence.
