how to work a look explores the relationships between queerness, spectacular style and resistance. the colloquial phrase "working a look" highlights the queer practice of using fashion to critique restrictive societal norms. for queer, trans, and non binary people of color, style is resistance, a way of fighting through the ashes of everyday life. it is a practice that centers beauty, fashion and getting dressed as deeply political projects.
