Interview of Angal Field

NYC Trans Oral History Project

Angal Field shares his experience of being a writer, filmmaker and photographer in today’s media landscape and discusses the trappings of trans visibility. Using the medium of film to “speak back” he personally explores queer family stories and complex subject hoods. Angal speaks of the highs and lows of medically transitioning and the experience of dating in a new body and new gender. Born in Portland Oregon, he describes the limitations of his liberal upbringing and what it means to understand systemic issues that affect marginalized communities in which trans-potential will always be linked to abolition.
