Ian Gerson- Rising: Climate in Crisis Resident & FESCH.TV:

Ian Gerson is a queer and trans interdisciplinary artist and educator born and based in Houston, TX.

While in residency and using discarded materials found in local waterways, he wove a series of wearable sculptures and then facilitate a queer and trans-led fashion show on the banks of the Mississippi River. Using makeshift looms he hand wove ropes found in and around the Mississippi River, along with his own personal clothing scraps and those gathered from friends in the community, mylar emergency blankets, dried plants, EL wire lights, and other found materials. His project ‘Transing the Future’ harnesses the emancipatory potential of queer nightlife to envision climate survival through a trans lens.
