Auckland collective FAFSWAG is conducting series of projects as part of Pride Festival. The projects aim to highlight and celebrate the local Pacific LGBTQ community. Artist Jaycee Tanuvasa's work tackles issues of media coverage around transgender hate crimes around the world, such as the shootings of Kandice Capri in Arizona and Amber Monroe in Detroit. In particular, she focuses on the problem of misrepresentation and misgendering in news coverage. News director Ximena speaks to Tanuvasa about her work.
