Our post in celebrating Transgender Awareness Week highlights self-portraits by Kama La Mackerel (they/them).

La Mackerel is non-binary and multidisciplinary artist from Mauritius. Their work is grounded in the exploration of justice, love, healing, decolonization, and self- and collective empowerment.

“Their series entitled ‘Breaking the Promise of Tropical Emptiness: Trans Subjectivity in the Postcard’ strongly and humorously redefines the typical aesthetic of postcards from Mauritius, more often than not reduced to the demonstration of luxuriant exoticism, presenting lush, sunny and wild landscapes that bear no trace of civilization.”

La Mackrel’s works are included in Transgalactic: photography, genre, transition. The front cover image for the publication features a self-portrait by Juliana Huxtable, an African American writer, performer, and DJ. “Her work is inspired by comic and Afrofuturist mythologies. Huxtable reinvents the art of the self-portrait to compose avatars in which her own image hybridizes with all kinds of creatures, from the animal to the digital, in order to evoke the infinite fluidity of her own gender identity.”

Artists featured in Transgalactic: photography, genre, transition explore a possible panorama of the role played by photography in the construction of their (trans) gender.

We’re celebrating Trans Joy this week!

It’s the Trans Day of Remembrance and I’m lying here in bed, thinking about all the incredible trans folks I have known who are gone now. Gone to violence. Gone to disease. Or gone just to hard lives. Of the four trans women in this photo, one was murdered, another had a sudden heart attack, and a third is in a care facility, in pretty bad shape. It is by not much more than very good luck that I remain. And so, I remember.
