What an incredible week of art making! Tatana Kellner and students just wrapped up their time at Rua Reidh Lighthouse, Scotland for this year’s international Summer Art Institute workshop, “MALLEABLE PRINT – THE LAST HURRAH!” They explored the possibilities of collagraph, drypoint, carborundum aquatint, textural relief printing and more. Check out their beautiful prints, with some even inspired by their surroundings! (fb)

You’re invited to the “gender liberators” viewing party! June 13 @ 7PM The Bureau of General Services-Queer Division @bgsqd 208 W 13th St, NYC Come celebrate the history of trans culture-making, organizing, and activism! “gender liberators” is an anthology of writing, poetry, correspondence, photos, paintings, flyers, and other ephemera by trans*, Two-spirit, nonbinary, and trans-adjacent authors and creators from 20th-century Turtle Island/North America. There are only about 100 copies of it, each one is handmade and unique. A copy is being donated to the Manhattan LGBT Center archives and will be available at the Bureau for viewing and flipping through! This book seeks to let the authors and materials included speak for themselves and dialogue with each other and honors the multiplicity of voices, formats, and perspectives. The materials in this book were identified and selected based on hundreds of interviews conducted with elders, archivists, scholars, and cultural workers about their lives and work and about moments, individuals, and groups that were deeply influential but have been underappreciated in accounts of trans* history. Through this community guidance, this anthology centers the perspectives and visual and print culture of trans and queer life and resists some of the biases of existing histories and archives that under represent the geographic South and Midwest, trans* communities of color, and trans masculine communities. “gender liberators” by Sky Syzygy was published by Women’s Studio Workshop in Rosendale, NY in 2024 Reel by Sky Syzygy @sky.syzygy (fb)
