Trans people, gnc people, non binary people- today can be tough...so much broadcasting of how many of have been killed and in what way. (In some attempt to make... cis folks wake up and stop this violence i guess? From their people.) But for us it’s just so hard to hear over and over. Today can be about us mourning our losses, sure, and we’ve had many....but also a day that is about us surviving against all odds. About us living to be elders one day. About activism to ensure our survival. About so much more than statistics. Today can also be about care. cis folks, send meals, send love, send care. Send fucking bath bombs and Pizza and flowers and music and whatever you can. Trans folks - we can be together and show up for each other in new ways today. In the middle of this pandemic. I love you. The future is coming. We will survive this. Trans gnc and non binary folks will live long and to grow old in the future. We will survive in the future. We will survive today.

#radicallove Radical Love- installed. Come visit these light boxes glowing through the night or under the sun in the day. I did research before starting this, i...nterviewing trans and non-binary folks about their time in public space- many said they felt more safe at 2am than 2pm because there was less people and less chance for a transphobic incident. This shook me. I have created large scale celebrations of trans presence in thé cityscape that can be viewed day or night- but that glow like beacons of possibility in those wee hours. The Black trans women and non binary folks in these images have done so much to shape this city. Their activism and organizing have made T’karon:to what it is. These monumental abstracted shapes celebrate their love and labour. The monuments récenter the frame around Black and Afro-Indigenous trans and non binary people. Thank you to The Bentway for the chance to honour and celebrate Black and AfroIndigenous trans and non binary lives. For the chance to prioritize the safety of those most marginalized. Thank you to Greg Kosiorowski for fabrication and building! Thank you to Roxanne Fernandes for help with the audioscape! Thank you to Raven Davis for research help! And especially- thank you to Ravyn Ariah Wngz Monica Sehovic Bowen Forrester and Chrys S-r for being part of this project, for sharing your gifts with this world, for all that you do and are. #radicallove call 647-424-4391 to hear the audioscape.
