Wellington and Melbourne: Creative New Zealand and Thames & Hudson, 2022.“Interdisciplinary artist Yuki Kihara’s work interrogates and dismantles gender roles, (mis)representation, and colonial legacies in the Pacific. Kihara is the first Pasifika and first Fa’afafine artist to be presented by New Zealand at the prestigious 59th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, with a groundbreaking exhibition of new work that addresses some of the most pressing issues of our time. For this companion publication to the exhibition, editor Natalie King has commissioned contributors from around the world to explore the interwoven strands running through Kihara’s art: race, gender, place, decolonisation, environment, agency, community. The book contextualises Kihara’s lifetime of works, which camp, expose, queer and question dominant narratives, turning so-called history on its head. The book contains contributions from Tahiti to Aotearoa. High-profile contributors include New York-based Cuban artist, scholar and activist Coco Fusco, Tahitian author Chantal Spitz, Filipino curator and professor Patrick Flores, and Australian arts leader Natalie King OAM (who edited the book).” (publisher’s blurb)

Hedda
AU$90.00 Read MoreAdd to cartFin Serck-Hanssen
[Marseille]: Loose Joints, 2021.“Over the last five years, Norwegian artist Fin Serck-Hanssen followed and documented the gender transitioning journey of close friend Hedda, who from her early twenties travelled from Oslo to Buenos Aires and Bangkok to undergo cosmetic surgeries and a vaginoplasty. Serck-Hansen and Heddas images are made collaboratively to build a complex portrait of both physical and psychological change within a young persons life, and show with unflinching honesty the realities of Heddas transitioning, surgeries, and recovery. Hedda reflects on the psychological construction of identity in the 21st century, mixing her selfies and curation of an online identity against Serck-Hansens tender but direct portraiture of her most vulnerable moments.” (publisher’s blurb)

Sydney: Pantera Press, 2021.“Boy, girl, artist, advocate. Courtney is more than the sum of her parts. Meet Shane Jenek: Raised in the Brisbane suburbs by loving parents, Shane realises from a young age that he’s not like all the other boys. He finds his tribe at a performing arts agency, where he discovers his passion for song, dance and performance. Shane makes a promise to himself- to find a bigger stage. Meet Courtney Act: Born in Sydney around the turn of the millennium, Courtney makes her name in the gay bars of Oxford Street and then on Australian Idol. Over ten years later, she makes star turns on RuPaul’s Drag Race and Celebrity Big Brother UK, bringing her unique take on drag and gender to the world. Behind this rise to national and global fame is a story of searching for and finding oneself. Told with Courtney’s trademark candour and wit, Caught in the Act is about our journey towards understanding gender, sexuality and identity. It’s an often hilarious and at times heartbreaking memoir from a beloved drag and entertainment icon. Most of all, it’s a bloody good time. (publisher’s blurb)

Marvel
AU$75.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMarvel Harris
[London]: MACK, 2021.“At first the focus of my project was my gender transition, but along the way I found out that its about an ongoing search for myself: being a human with feelings, who is continuously developing.” (Marvel Harris) “MARVEL describes the journey of Marvel Harris personal battles with mental illness, self-love, acceptance, and gender identity, all told through a searing collection of self-portraits spanning the course of five years. These photographs present a new-found visual language; a tool with which Marvel was able to express those emotions that, on account of his autism, he previously struggled to make sense of. The process of making these portraits allowed him to connect to the world around him at the time he needed it most. Winner of the MACK First Book Award 2021, MARVEL is an important new voice which contributes to an increased awareness of the issues surrounding gender identity and mental health. In doing so, this deeply personal book demands a more tolerant attitude from society towards transgender people and those who dont identify as entirely male or female.” (publisher’s blurb)
