From his site:
WHY CARLA ROSSI?
My performance work confronts white supremacy, complacency, and the confusion of "mixed" identities - of living in-between, particularly sexually and racially. I'm interested in the edge - that line between satire and sincerity, between critique and reification - as a site where transgression and transformation occur. That's why I'm drawn to drag as artwork. Drag often reinforces heterosexist projections of what makes a "woman," but - as theorist Judith Butler argues - it can also expose the cracks in binary sexism by blurring (or queering) gender. Queer drag exposes gender as a performed historical construction - a set of appropriated cues, images, or gestures that culturally signify masculine and feminine - rather than as a biological reality.
The character I play, Carla Rossi, started as an art project in 2010 and has since turned into a full-fledged persona, body of work, and occupation. I prefer the term "drag clown" over "drag queen" because I'm not trying to emulate women. I'm more interested in Coyote-style trickery similar to the clown’s objective - a clown says one thing while doing the opposite. In that same way I use Carla as a tool for critique. When I perform as her I wear whiteface in direct allusion to whiteness, clowning,

When Looking for Tiger Lily comes to the Talking Stick Festival, audiences will meet Carla Rossi, a drag clown in whiteface and a fright wig. But don’t be afraid: she’s a trickster, a storyteller, and the living, outsized embodiment of all the cultural collisions and identity crises two-spirit interdisciplinary artist Anthony Hudson has experienced. Carla is part coyote figure, part PowerPoint-wielding speaker, and much more.

@shewhomustbeobeyed. This gal has her phone number posted for people to contact her re: signups/the drag show. am I allowed to post it, so we could either "sign up" and fill all the spaces or express our displeasure?
I bet we could get a bunch of voaters to mass call the library to say it should be cancelled.
but I dont want to be accused of doxxing or brigading. so I'm asking first.

I could be wrong, but I believe the doxx rules apply to Voat users only. Public employees are over 50% of the problem. They have chosen money over morality. They get paid higher than industry standards, they need to be held to higher standards, as well.
I hope people spread those phone numbers far and wide.
@Vindicator I am assuming that asking for people to call public employees out does not doxx, since it falls under NV public employee transparency laws.

That is my understanding, but I'm not 100% clear on what is and isn't doxxing. The User Agreement is vague and different goats have different interpretations of it. When one of our users created a pedo doxing subverse and posted names and addresses of subscribers to a CP site they hacked, Putt deleted all of the dox submissions but did not ban the user. In fact, didn't say a word about it, even when repeatedly asked for clarification and an explanation. That was a couple years ago, though. In that case, the people being doxed made accounts and complained. They also claimed the user was trying extort money from them (unsubstantiated, and the claim didn't make a whole lot of sense, since the info had already been posted publicly before they made the claim and thus had no blackmail value).

Thank you. Yes I remember when karenrussell did that. It was good stuff. lots of laughs watching those pedos whine.
@NOMOCHOMO see parent for answer. I think you can post anything you want now.
