Lesbian National Parks and Services Presents: Endangered Species

Lesbian National Parks and Services' Endangered Species are a series of public service announcements, created by the indefatigable Lesbian Rangers, who serve the lesbian wilds from dawn to dusk and well beyond.

Archaeology and You

A five-part, site-specific installation and single-channel videotape. The piece manipulates shards of narrative into a meditation on the construction of self and culture through language. Archaeology and You juxtaposes historical theory with ever-timely questions such as “What do we have to say?” and “Why do we bother writing it down?”

Carpet Cleaners

Amerika, Zed and Kyle are good friends until the excitingly undermedicated bitch goddess Trasha enters the frame, cutting Kyle off from his friends and their vacuous and unencumbered world of beer and porn. Amerika and Zed aim to free their friend from the clutches of his nutburger girlfriend by enlisting the aid of the Sappho Carpet Cleaners for some wet work. The plan goes awry when Trasha and her psychosis find themselves a paying gig and tables are turned, trashed and burned.

Lesbian National Parks and Services: A Force of Nature

Lesbian National Parks and Services: A Force of Nature follows the intrepid Lesbian Rangers as they patrol, educate, and illustrate lesbian survival skills. This documentary about the Force archly parodies the so-called objectivity of educational films, while playfully recasting the wilds from a lesbian perspective, calling into question prevalent notions of nature and normalcy.

Brothers

Two lesbian butch brothers live a predictable life: they do the same tasks repeatedly, day after day. However, when the night comes, their lives are anything but ordinary.

A Day in the Life of a Bull-Dyke

A Day in the Life of a Bull-Dyke follows a big boned butch into skirmishes, drag, and the arms of a beautiful recruit. The public and private lives of this "strange animal" are explored with the reverence and glee found in the educational exposés like Reefer Madness and bad-boy films like Rebel without a Cause. However, because this fictionalized lesbian history is a first-person narrative, it is filled with all the joy, pain, and ambivalence each of us experiences while negotiating a marginalized identity.

Medusa Raw

Medusa Raw, Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan’s first video, is a re-telling of the classical Medusa myth from the Medusa’s perspective.
