Thirza Cuthand Retrospective
@Raumerweiterungshalle, Berlin, Germany Thursday July 14 2011, 8:30 pm
Thirza Cuthand started her video career because she wasn’t seeing representations in mainstream media of her identities and issues.
Since then she has made 15 short videos about sexuality, ageism, madness, psychiatric abuse, mixed race identity, and a documentary about the historical roots of her family. Her first tape, Lessons In Baby Dyke Theory, was made when she was 16 years old and wondering where the other teenage lesbians were. It became a festival hit and she has since gone on to screen in places such as Frameline in San Francisco, Mix Brasil in Sao Paolo, Mix NY, Queer City Cinema in Regina, and Out on Screen in Vancouver. Her work is in the collections of UCLA, Concordia University, the National Gallery in Ottawa, and University of Victoria. She has also written a
feature screenplay called Bunnyhug and has kept a blog since 2004 called Fit of Pique, at www.fitofpique.blogspot.com.
She currently resides in Saskatoon, Canada, with her dog and cat.
