http://blogs.phillymag.com/gphilly/2011/11/07/transgender-exhibit-open/Gender can be complicated and deeply personal. And for the next two months, an exhibition will showcase works about the transgender and gender non-conforming community starting Nov. 11 (6-8 p.m.) during an opening reception at the William Way. The special exhibition is curated by Eli J. VandenBerg and supported, in part, by the Leeway Foundation. The featured works come from three internationally known artists – Molly Landreth, Elisha Lim and Aiden Simon.
"All of these projects have a uniting thread beyond featuring images of trans and gender queer people – the images reflect an unflinching honesty and unity through our diversity," says VandenBerg. "These projects are about taking control of our own stories. The memories that connect us and the stories we tell keep time moving and turn our lives and identities into something bigger than ourselves."
