Free / RSVP

The Museum of Trans Hirstory and Art (MOTHA), the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University, and Stanford Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies present an evening of performance, discussion, music, and readings to celebrate the release of the book Trans Hirstory in 99 Objects. Surveying over three centuries, this book brings together over 100 contributors to create a capacious selection of artworks, archival documents, publications, and artifacts about trans life. We are thrilled to gather a set of amazing talents, including several of the book’s contributors, to bring the spirit of this project to the stage.

The program will begin with a panel discussion with C. Riley Snorton, Cyle Metzger, and Gabby Omoni Hartemann, moderated by Susan Stryker. Intermission will be followed by a Director’s Welcome by Chris E. Vargas, readings and performance, including by Allucquére Rosanne (Sandy) Stone, Beth Elliott, David Evans Frantz, Geo Wyeth, Leila Weefur, Maxe Crandall, Zz Chic, and The Indigo Menace of the Stanford Drag Troupe, and a screening by Kiyan Williams. Mo B. Dick will emcee.
