Some of the photographs seem to be of ordinary young men. Vann, 38, from Baltimore could be your smiling neighbor, sitting on the freshly painted red steps of a house.

Others are a little more provocative. Koomah, 25, from Houston, stands near a wall built of white teacups wearing hot pink lipstick and eyeshadow, his black T-shirt emblazoned with "DRESS ME UP" in the same stark color.

These are two of the eight installations in the "(Un)heard: Transmasculine People of Color Speak!" exhibit of first person accounts in the Carl A. Fields Center's Multipurpose Room, which runs from Nov. 7 to 22.
