TRANS HIRSTORY
IN 99 OBJECTS
The Exhibition Series
2015 - 2019
Transgender Hirstory in 99 Objects (exhibition series) examines objects that hold significance in narrating the history of transgender communities. The project blurs the line between the real and the imaginary, the known and the unknowable, giving visibility to actual people and events that remain foundational for transgender history while embracing partial facts, rumors, and maybes. Inspired by the Smithsonian’s book American History in 101 Objects, which was in turn inspired by A History of the World in 100 Objects by the BBC and the British Museum.
Trans Hirstory in 99 Objects is a Creative Capital funded project.
