images of identity

trans-masculine self-representations




4 April – 28 April 2008

Oberlin College, Mudd Library

This project displays the ways in which individual artists use self-representations as a means of exploring negotiating trans-masculine identities. In addition, this project works to place these images in a social and artistic memory by presenting works in a public forum, and recording this exhibit in print form. By focusing on self-representations, this project centers gender identity formations and the ways in which discourses of gender shape artists’ patterns of representation.
