MIX NYC promotes, produces and preserves experimental media that is rooted in the lives, politics and experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and otherwise queer-identified people. MIX's work challenges mainstream notions of gender and sexuality while also upending traditional categories of form and content. Through its annual Festival and an innovative series of events throughout the year, MIX celebrates experimentation in sexuality, media arts and political action and continually strives to broaden its scope to include audiences and artists from communities that have traditionally been excluded from or marginalized within the media field, especially communities of color, transgendered people, and lesbian & gay youth.
