There are more straightforward documentation of the culture bubbling to the surface now, too: Viceland has its new docu-series My House, and, with the support of the IWMF (International Women in Media Fund), the photographer Anja Matthes has captured the contemporary ball scene in her forthcoming publication, The Kiki Yearbook, a "coming of age milestone" that celebrates the lives of queer and transgender people of color as they carve out their niche in the Kiki subset of ball culture.
