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.

An expansive array of artworks and artifacts 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.

Reviews for Trans Hirstory in 99 Objects

""It's hard to overstate the importance of a book and exhibition series like Trans Hirstory in a time of historic attacks against trans and LGBTQ+ rights both in the United States and around the world. . . . And like any good object history, Trans Hirstory challenges the very idea of history as a mode of study that has a singular and comprehensive perspective or that can even have a fixed period of time as its reference point. We see objects from the 21st century and the 1st, a reminder that trans people have always existed.""-- ""Hyperallergic"" ""This star-studded collection of essays is quite simply the best work of transgender art history in the history of art history to date."" -- ""Susan Stryker, Dornsife Dean's Professor in Residence of Gender and Sexuality Studies, University of Southern California""
