Shimmers Below the Surface: Emergent Strategy and Movement Building through 2-QTPOC Media
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Two-Spirit, Queer and Trans People of Colour (2-QTPOC) media offer paradigms for visions and practices of collective liberation and decolonization. Because 2-QTPOC media can reveal the metaphysical and affective among political imaginings and realities, this work attempts to track the haunting attachments, the emergent political, and the queerness inherent to the worlding that media making enacts, as a form of movement building and transformative healing. This work highlights the cultural work of Mangos with Chili, a two-spirit, queer and trans people of colour (2-QTPOC) multi-genre media performance collective, currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area, to explore the complexities among materiality, representation and embodiment by asking: How can attending to 2-QTPOC media reveal potentialities of the political? What shimmers at the boundaries of intelligibility and memory?

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
