Kiss & Tell innovated, transformed, and expanded multimedia and interactive art practices. They combined spoken word, audio, video, sculpture, props, music, songs, and photography in their performance works, and created innovative ways for viewers to directly interact with their photography exhibitions. The collective confronted issues of censorship and feminist sex wars debates; embraced queer joy; engaged in class analysis; tackled oppressive systems of power, ableism, and sexism; explored traumatic experiences; challenged disability stereotypes; and fostered greater understanding of queerness through humour. They depicted lesbian sexual practices and brought lesbian identities and experiences into the public sphere with their art.
