KUAF Premieres New 8-Part Multimedia Series: 'TEA: the Transgender Experience in Arkansas'
The Listening Lab in the studios of KUAF Public Radio presents "TEA: the Transgender Experience in Arkansas"
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – TEA: the Transgender Experience in Arkansas is a collection of filmed, curated conversations with seven transgender youth, women and men who reside in Northwest Arkansas. A University of Arkansas gender studies scholar provides cultural context, anchoring the series. Audio versions of the film series are scheduled to air on KUAF's news magazine, Ozarks at Large.
The series' first episode premiered Jan. 24, and will be followed by two-episode releases per month thru early May.
TEA was filmed over the span of six months last year in KUAF's Listening Lab in the studios of KUAF. TEA is directed and filmed by Emerson Alexander, hosted by Taylor Johnson and Sophia Nourani. The series was edited by Sophia Nourani and produced by journalist Jacqueline Froelich.
For this series, KUAF asked our TEA guests, which include several trans teens, trans adults, a drag queen and drag king, to provide insight into their lives by revealing their trans self-realization, medical integration and social acculturation.
You can follow TEA: the Transgender Experience in Arkansas on the Listening Lab.
