The Ways We & Things Are is an exhibition and publication showcasing the work of six, groundbreaking transgender artists. The exhibit’s title plays on the saying “the way things are” but replaces its original and somewhat cynical tone with one of possibility, empowerment, and agency. Through their unique points of view, these artists challenge traditional ideas of gender, push forth an acceptance for the infinite nature of human expression and existence, and encourage us to re-examine the ways in which we perceive our world and one another.
