During its 14 year existence, the institute for sexual science (1919-1933) provided gender-affirming care, counseling, surgeries, and community support. Led by Magnus Hirschfeld, queer, trans*, jewish people who found shelter here have danced, talked, feasted, and celebrated Shabbat in each other's loving arms. Hani Portner’s audio portrait engages us in a conversation with the land about reclamation, revitalization and retaliation while recounting the people’s stories. Imagine yourself as a mushroom - by envisioning ourselves as mycelium, connecting, entangling, and supporting, we can together build something beautiful, in solidarity with the marginalized and honor our trancestors.
