Overview
“Trans people don’t often get a chance to talk about this bit. Where you see your old self in the person you become.”
Tatenda Shamiso tells the story of his experience as a Black transgender immigrant in the UK. Using the songs he wrote throughout his first year on testosterone alongside letters, signatures and a whole lot of paperwork, he guides us through what it takes to validate Black and queer identities in the eyes of the law.
With laughter, music and a healthy dose of care, No I.D. is a love letter to gender transitions and an examination of how absurd our bureaucratic systems can be.
