Join us for an exploration of David Evans Frantz, Christina Linden, Chris E. Vargas Chris E. Varga’s new book “Trans Hirstory in 99 objects.”
A compelling exploration of trans art, activism, and resistance. Spanning over four centuries, this volume brings together a wide-ranging selection of artworks and artifacts that highlight the under-recognized histories of trans and gender-nonconforming communities. Through the contributions of artists, writers, poets, activists, and scholars, this title reflects on historical erasure and imagines trans futures.
An expansive array of objects chart not a patriarchal history but a gender-neutral, trans-centric hirstory. The first publication of its kind, this survey celebrates trans forebearers, highlights struggles and triumphs, and reflects on the legacies of trans creative expression.
Everyone is invited to bring an object, drawing or representation that feels like an iconic object of queerness. It might be your first rainbow flag – or a screenshot of Feeld profile. All that you need is a thing and a story.
Feeling shy? Come just to hang, listen and take a look at this beautiful book!
