520 |a Part of a special issue on the relationship between art, identity, and social justice. A study was conducted to explore the activism and cultural work of three New York City performing artists. Data were obtained from in-depth interviews with Imani Henry, who identifies as a queer, Caribbean, female-to-male transsexual; Susana Cook, a self-styled butch lesbian from Argentina; and Diyaa MilDred Gerestant, a Haitian-American queer performing artist. Findings revealed that each artist regards creating connections across lines of difference as a critical aim, and their cultural work functions as activism on a number of levels; they make use of participatory processes of audience engagement. Findings also revealed that these artists have exposed their own personal selves through performance in order to communicate their messages: each examines themes of race and ethnicity from their own perspective. Findings are discussed in detail.
