A solid foundation for bridge-building exists between two branches of feminism, Lesbian Feminism and Trans Feminism. In this exciting exhibit, six pairs of Philadelphia-based, multigenerational and multi-gender artists collaborated to create new work in mixed media, painting, sculpture, textiles, video, and zines. Months of dialogue and community-building produced this shared project of resistance.
Carrying politics in their bodies the artists responded to each other, their communities, and the world at-large. Referencing themes of monstrosity, queer joy and pain, being on the fringes, darkness, struggle, and lifelines, their work speaks collectively to the intersection of feminisms, community care, world-building, and the continuing fight for Trans and Queer liberation.
