Virtual Artist Talk with Jess T. Dugan
Wednesday, March 30, 6:00 pm PT

Join us for a virtual artist talk with Jess T. Dugan as they discuss the current exhibition, To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender And Gender Nonconforming Older Adults as well as their upcoming projects. For over 5 years, photographer Jess T. Dugan and social worker Vanessa Fabbre traveled throughout the United States seeking subjects whose lived experiences exist within the complex intersections of gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, sexuality, socioeconomic class, and geographic location. The resulting portraits and narratives provide a nuanced view into the struggles and joys of growing older as a transgender person and offer a poignant reflection on what it means to live authentically despite seemingly insurmountable odds.

To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults is an exhibition organized by Barrett Barrera Projects. The exhibition and talk are supported in part by the Oregon Cultural Trust.
