MARIETTE PATHY ALLEN @ Cuban National Center for Sex Education
TRANSCUBA: PHOTOGRAPHS BY MARIETTE PATHY ALLEN
OPENING RECEPTION WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2014
For more than 30 years, American photographer Mariette Pathy Allen has been documenting transgender culture worldwide; in 2004 she won the Lambda Literary Award for her book
The Gender Frontier. In her latest series, TransCuba, which was published this year in a monograph of the same title by Daylight Books, Allen captures the transgender community of Cuba through vibrant color photographs. Her images document the details of the everyday lives of her subjects engaging with family and friends and the community at large, revealing the growing visibility and acceptance of transgender people in a country whose government is transitioning into a more relaxed model of communism under Raúl Castro’s presidency.
