HOW DO I LOOK

Directed by Wolfgang Busch, 2006, 80 minutes

Curated by Jordan Gaither and Fatou Seck

Directed by Wolfgang Busch, HOW DO I LOOK offers an authentic, community-centered view of the New York ballroom scene—one of the most vibrant expressions of LGBTQ+ culture and artistry. More than a documentary, it’s a celebration of resilience, identity, and the creative brilliance of queer communities of color.

Unlike many mainstream depictions, HOW DO I LOOK was crafted alongside ballroom pioneers to ensure that their stories, struggles, and triumphs are told with respect and accuracy. From historic figures like Willi Ninja, Octavia St. Laurent, Jose Xtravaganza, Andre Mizrahi and Pepper LaBeija to the captivating artistry of voguing and house culture, HOW DO I LOOK provides an in-depth look at a world where art, family, and identity intersect in beautiful, transformative ways.
