To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults by photographer Jess T. Dugan and social worker Vanessa Fabbre.
The book is comprised of photographs and interviews with older transgender and gender nonconforming adults, also featured in the exhibition the same title, presented by Barrett Barrera Projects.
Anticipated shipment for signed copies of this book is mid-January 2023.
For over five years, Dugan and Fabbre traveled throughout the United States seeking subjects whose experiences exist within the complex intersections of gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, sexuality, socioeconomic class, and geographic location. They traveled from coast to coast, to big cities and small towns, documenting the life stories of this important but largely underrepresented group of older adults. The featured individuals have a wide variety of life narratives spanning the last ninety years, offering an important historical record of transgender experience and activism in the United States.
