Trans Hirstory in 99 Objects
Softcover Edition
Surveying over four centuries, this volume brings together a wide-ranging selection of artworks and artefacts that highlight under-recognised histories of trans and gender-nonconforming communities. Through the contributions of artists, writers, poets, activists, and scholars, this title reflects on historical erasure to imagine trans futures.

description
An expansive array of artworks and artefacts charts not a patriarchal history but a gender-neutral, trans-centric "hirstory". The first publication of its kind, this expansive survey celebrates trans forebears, highlights struggles and triumphs, and reflects on the legacies of trans creative expression. This book is published by the Museum of Trans Hirstory & Art, a conceptual art project of artist Chris E. Vargas that is forever “under construction” by design to allow continual transformation.
press commentaries
This star-studded collection of essays is quite simply the best work of transgender art history in the history of art history to date.
