Del LaGrace Volcano is a gender variant visual artist and cultural producer working with the body and gender/sexual identity notions for both social, political and personal purposes. According to the ‘Encyclopedia of LGBTQI culture’, Del is known as ‘one of instigators of polymorphous perverse queer culture’. Del has produced four monographs, ‘Love Bites’ (1991), ‘The Drag King Book’ (with Jack/Judith Halberstam, 1999), ‘Sublime Mutations’ (2000) and ‘Sex Works’ (2005), and has also been cited and reproduced in numerous publications, journals and books on visual art and queer and feminist theory. Del’s latest short videos include, ‘GENDER QUEER: Qu’est-ce que c’est?’ 2005, ‘The Passionate Spectator’ 2003 and ‘Journey Intersex’ 2000. At Gender Fest Del will give us a performative visual lecture talking about and showing images from their ongoing collaborative project VISIBLY INTERSEX and sharing their lived experience as an intersex parent, a Mapa.
