Suzie Silver

As an artist, Silver focuses primarily in video, performance, and sound. She utilizes her own experiences within the LGBTQ+ as a way to explore within these visual art forms.^[2] In 1992, Silver created a performance video called "A Spy" in which Jesus is seen as a vibrant and queer manifestation, with a song by The Doors playing in the background.^[11] In 1993, Silver created a spoof video based on Lynard Skynard's "Freebird", which was the title of the spoof as well. She took on all acting roles for this spoof video where she was bending gender roles within the 1970s straight culture that was portrayed in the video's original debut.^[12]

Strange Attractors: Investigations in Non-Humanoid Extraterrestrial Sexualities was published by The Institute of Extraterrestrial Sexuality and Encyclopedia Destructica in 2012. The exhibition and resultant book "commemorates Kepler with art, writing and film that envision the sexualities of beings that may someday be encounter - if not in outer space then at least our dreams." Silver was one of three curators for the exhibition and wrote the book's introduction. In 2013, Silver created a video project by the name, "Trans Q Television". This show discusses the topics of gender fluidity and expression through collaborating with other LGBTQIA+ artists. Some of the artists featured include; Alaska Thunderfuck 5000, Zackary Drucker, Rhys Ernst, Mikey McParlane, Erica Gressman, House of Ladosha, and Le1f.^[13]

As aforementioned, Suzie Silver has worked on several projects with Hilary Harp. In 2015, they took on creating a video project titled, Fairy Fantastic, which was a television show specifically dedicated to gender non-conforming children. Fairy Fantastic was a way to show children how fairytales could be told through non-traditional concepts regarding gender identity and how various forms of expression can be taught to children who have no former knowledge of the gender binary.^[14]
