Around the corner, masking tape arrows on the carpet usher people into a bathroom. An audio collage reports the names of transgender victims of violence, and a reminder that these people were persecuted because they do not fit into society's gender expectations. In the next room of the interactive makeshift museum in the Stephenson South hotel, extremely harsh rap music is blaring. A large poster of a black man with the caption "Amerikaz Most Wanted" adorns the upper left corner as the predominant visual. There is a poster of Green Day, but slightly lower and hidden. The walls are covered with black butcher paper and inscribed with spray paint graffiti of derogatory slang toward women. Obviously questioning the effects of violent music, the adjacent room further analyzes violence in movies and television.
