How do artists use food, sex, physicality and clothing to seduce and deceive the viewer? Tina Takemoto explores how race and sexuality are deployed in artworks presented in Gorgeous that engage with cross-dressing, masquerade, embodiment and ethnic drag.

Each facilitator will present an idea that piques his or her curiosity and host a session to investigate it through two or three artworks.
