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!

Prepare to visit worlds ahead of our time: #UtopianImagination! The third show in @fordfoundationgallery’s inaugural year, curated by @jaishri.abichandani, features 14 diverse artists whose futuristic narratives inspire wonder, joy & hope for our existence on an increasingly imperiled planet. With the understanding that (radical) #love is the answer to the violence presented in #PerilousBodies, this exhibition recognizes the difficulties of the task ahead. Utopias are increasingly hard to imagine in a world torn asunder by conflict. Using #sciencefiction to frame this interrogation, this exhibition presents objects, bodies, vessels, fragments created by artists over time that when pieced together, offer a vision of a future that includes all of us. Images: 1. #YinkaShinibare @shonibarestudio “Cloud 9” one of Shonibare’s earliest black astronaut sculptures-part of a two-decade exploration that imagines the survival of #BlackPeople as pioneers in space. The work explores themes of colonialism, post-colonialism and black aspiration. 2. #ZakOve @zakove “Sky Lark” And #LolaFlash @flash9 “Syzygy” (self portrait) an embodiment of her ancestors’ dreams of liberation. 4. #SaksAfridi @saks__ ‘The Prayer Catcher’. “If all your prayers were answered, would it change the world, or just yours?” ~ unknown #SpaceMosque The narrative explores greed & morality at war when prayer becomes the de facto global currency. The work asks us to reflect on what it is we pray for and to what end. 5. & 6. Zak Ove “Nubian Return” 7. #JulianaHuxtable @julianahuxtable “Lil’ Marvel” (self portrait) as a #transgender #BlackWoman provoking discourse on the power of her own image & heteronormative tropes of anatomy & the politics of the human body. 8. #MikaelOwunna @mikaelowunna “Infinite Essence”. Otherworldly images, black models transformed into #cosmic #ethereal beings. 9. #FarxiyoJaamac @hausofriya “Black Girls Live in Outer Space Too” series 10. #MarikoMori @marikomori #afrofuturistic #afrofuturism #futurism #blackness #blkcreatives #blackexcellence #artlover #artcollector #artcurator #artadvisory #destineeross @desti.knee & #joakimvonditmar (at Ford Foundation) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2kE8uBlsHi/?igshid=1r5b5bf9m8jva

“Kiss My Genders” is an exhibition catalog of a group exhibition held at the Hayward Gallery, London in 2019, which celebrated the work of more than 20 international artists whose practices explore and engage with gender fluidity, as well as non-binary, trans and intersex identities. The exhibit catalog features works from the late 1960s and early 1970s through to the present. The exhibition curator Vincent Honoré writes, “Kiss My Genders originated from discussions with artists, writers and activists. Conceived as a celebration of difference and of the rich spectrum of gender identity, it features a multitude of voices and approaches.”

About the cover image: Untitled (Li’ marvel) by Juliana Huxtable “Juliana Huxtable uses her body to make original marks in the visual landscape. She poses against candy-coloured backdrops and uses her body to make a visual exclamation mark. In “Untitled (Li’ marvel)” she is dressed in a black leotard and, as her black braids fly behind her and a black background with streaks of purple offers a sense of forward motion, she reaches towards the end of the frame, grasping the space between herself and the viewer and pulling us into the void.” – written by Jack Halberstam in a chapter, “Making a Move – Object Lessons in Trans* Art” p. 24.
