Art and artifacts tracing trans histories

Spanning more than four centuries, this edited volume assembles artworks and artifacts to bring trans and gender-nonconforming histories into view. Its object-based survey shifts the frame from patriarchal history toward a trans-centric account, connecting creative expression with activism and resistance. Contributions from artists, writers, poets, activists, and scholars address historical erasure, honor trans forebears, and consider trans futures. The collection’s breadth makes it both a survey of cultural materials and a reflection on how histories are preserved, obscured, and reimagined.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in trans and gender-nonconforming histories and cultural representation.
  • Readers exploring the intersections of art, activism, and LGBTQ+ history.
  • Readers seeking an edited collection featuring perspectives from artists, writers, activists, and scholars.

Book overview

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. Contributions by Kate Bornstein, Ria Brodell, Vaginal Davis, Leah DeVun, Mo B. Dick, Zackary Drucker, David Getsy, Martine Gutierrez, Andrea Jenkins, Jade Guarano Kuriki-Olivo (Puppies Puppies), Thomas (T.) Jean Lax, Abram J. Lewis, Miguel A. L
