Joan

animation by Jessica MacCormack
song by Rae Spoon

Joan is a music video that confronts the viewer with the violence trans people face in their daily lives. Featuring portraits of gender queers from around the world, as well as a few famous faces from Canada, the video offers recognition for the difficulty in surviving oppressive conditions. The love song, an anthem against transphobia, reminds us that through supporting one another we are not alone.

The official version of the song Joan will be released on Rae Spoons next album, Love is a Hunter.
