TRANSDECISION, artist talk by Andreina Fuentes Angarita, Beautiful Distress House, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 30 April 2023
On April 30th, an artist talk took place between Andreina Fuentes Angarita and Mind The Gap exhibiting artist Diana Blok. They discussed, among other things, the importance of education about gender diversity. Andreina is not only a transgender activist, but also a multi-media artist, and with her photographic essay TRANSDECISION she has made a visual translation of her work about gender identification, taking into account legal-psychosocial aspects that require attention to promote safe, legal scenarios for transsexual and transgender communities.
Andreina speaks about the right of transgender people to freely choose the development of their dignity through the recognition of their gender identity, since according to both collectives it is a consideration that must be adjusted because it does not correspond to the gender as which they were initially registered or recognized.
Based on this premise, TRANSDECISION is an approach to civil guardianship around the recognition of gender identity through photographic documentation of some transwomen who have been socially violated by various forms of rejection, contempt and regulated abuse. The project proposes gender adequacy as a form of identity.
Thank you to Andreina Fuentes Angarita, Diana Blok and Beautiful Distress House
