Our post in celebrating Transgender Awareness Week highlights self-portraits by Kama La Mackerel (they/them).
La Mackerel is non-binary and multidisciplinary artist from Mauritius. Their work is grounded in the exploration of justice, love, healing, decolonization, and self- and collective empowerment.
“Their series entitled ‘Breaking the Promise of Tropical Emptiness: Trans Subjectivity in the Postcard’ strongly and humorously redefines the typical aesthetic of postcards from Mauritius, more often than not reduced to the demonstration of luxuriant exoticism, presenting lush, sunny and wild landscapes that bear no trace of civilization.”
La Mackrel’s works are included in Transgalactic: photography, genre, transition. The front cover image for the publication features a self-portrait by Juliana Huxtable, an African American writer, performer, and DJ. “Her work is inspired by comic and Afrofuturist mythologies. Huxtable reinvents the art of the self-portrait to compose avatars in which her own image hybridizes with all kinds of creatures, from the animal to the digital, in order to evoke the infinite fluidity of her own gender identity.”
Artists featured in Transgalactic: photography, genre, transition explore a possible panorama of the role played by photography in the construction of their (trans) gender.
We’re celebrating Trans Joy this week!

HOUSE-A-BUTCH FUNDRAISER!🥺🏳️⚧️💅✨❤️🧡🤍💖
Please read the info on the slides and ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand. There will eventually be more perks added, like postcards, a special reduction linocut print, etc. Also some goodies from @sev_wildfang , and we‘ll dutifully update you about Rhea (while respecting her privacy, ofc). This pride month, consider ditching rainbow capitalism, and just supporting this or other mutual aid posts. Consider buying from small artists. Consider becoming active in your community.
Ideas about new prints/projects always welcome!☺️

‘At Home’ explores the artist’s T4T relationship in moments of admiration. A story of queer joy, their existence together validates and affirms one another. Transcending typical levels of respect, solidarity, and understanding.
Through these moments, they exude gender euphoria, away from cis-heteronormative society.
Together they rest from the world others have created. They’re at home.
this is a new & ongoing project that i’m really relishing in. instagram.com/ajslens
