Intergenerational Inspiration: Trans Artists Envision a More Expansive Future
Join us for an evening of conversation and reflection with artist Éamon McGivern, whose exhibition A/History is currently on view at The Museum. This exhibition explores trans identity through archival materials, personal memory, and painterly interpretation. McGivern will be joined by a panel of fellow trans artists and friends for a dynamic discussion on the influences, inspirations, and legacies that shape their work. Together, these panellists will explore how “transcestors”—trans and gender-expansive figures from history—inform contemporary identity and creative expression. The conversation will highlight intergenerational connections, the process of developing the self with or without precedent, and the ways trans artists draw on the past to envision more expansive futures. This event offers a chance to explore queer history and its impact on modern artistic expression, fostering a deeper understanding of trans identity and creativity.
