“We Both Laughed in Pleasure” by Kit Robbins and Alma Landeta.
Presented by Jonathan Carver Moore & The Transgender District, “We Both Laughed in Pleasure” is an intimate series capturing moments of tenderness and vulnerability, giving viewers a glimpse into the nuances of trans love and connection. The title for this series is lovingly borrowed from the selected diaries of Lou Sullivan. Sullivan was one of the first transgender men to publicly identify as gay, and through his writings and activism, he helped shape our understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity as distinctly different. The artists read Sullivan’s diaries to one another, and they found his words to be affirming.
With this body of work Kit Robbins and Alma Landeta bring their personal experiences and perspectives to this dialogue, celebrating the beauty and complexity inherent in trans connections. Their artworks explore themes of mutual understanding, shared identity, and the journey towards self-acceptance within the context of their T4T partnership.
Join us for the opening reception of “We Both Laughed in Pleasure” on September 19th at 5:30pm at the Transgender District office.
