dc.description.abstractThe goal of this project is to gain a trans feminist oral history (Hill 2007) perspective on the lived experiences of transgender (more specifically gender non-conforming) individuals and the emotions they feel. I explore how to visualize and materialize individual experiences that “also connect to collective experiences, one story becoming the story of many” (Hill 2007, p4). The presentation of transgender experiences is explored through book design. My question, therefore, is, how can book design highlight commonalities within the broader transgender community and link disparate individuals through shared experience? This topic has been addressed by interviewing three gender non-conforming individuals using a trans feminist oral history methodology (Hill 2007). This project aims to meld art and design in order to express the collective experiences that are shared throughout the trans community.
