Black Trans people take authorship of their images and narratives.
...
We are so happy to be sharing these beautiful images with you. Made with performers and artists from the Black Trans community.
The images are being exhibited in gallery window at VFD / 66 Stoke Newington road from 10am to 7pm
….
VFD commissioned portraits of black trans people to be taken by black trans artists and photographers. As we seek to increase the visibility of the community and to make sure that the narratives shared come from within the community itself.
This work has been made possible with the support of Arts Council England and @blacktrans.project
