This Side Up

Directed by Alex J Bledsoe

A short film that documents the interior lives of art handlxrs and their experiences in the art world. Set in the Bay Area and contextualized by the voice of contemporary art curator Eungie Joo, this film features Adrian Clutario and Nahkoura Mahnassi as they explore the ways that their identities as LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC people intersect with their roles behind the scenes of museums and art galleries. The film also brings into view the international scale of the art world, with appearances from art handlxrs located in Los Angeles, New York, and Mexico City.
