Fox Fisher, Artwork Title: Rebel with a Cause

Trans Post Project 2023

In 2023 the Trans Post Project sent out over 700 free postcard packs across the UK, centred on the theme of Trans Rebels. Packs included newly commissioned designs by Black Lodge Press, blkmoodyboi, Emma Frankland and Fox Fisher, displayed below. Participants were invited to respond with their own designs, collected in this community gallery.
Viewed together, these designs might carry the familiar feeling of the rallies and vigils that have punctuated a year of near-relentless hostility towards trans life. These moments spent making paint pictures of anger, hope and the everyday rebellions of being trans. Boldly scribbled words call us to break moulds, shatter expectations and reject laws that govern trans lives. Some draw strength from trans people who forged pathways, who illustrate our histories and futures. Together, they hold the promise of all we have to gain from standing with each other. Plant life winds its way throughout the images too; rooted, connected, and beginning to imagine the things that may grow when the ground is broken.
Attenborough Arts Centre would like to thank every artist that shared their design, as well as the youth groups, support circles and organisations that helped to facilitate this.

Trans Post Project 2022

These designs, submitted by participants in 2022, call for urgently needed change to trans healthcare and public opinion, offer words of support or simply share the results of a peaceful moment spent making. From dreaming of the basic safety to watch the stars at night, to asserting the cosmic nature of being trans in a universe that has always been fluid and changeable, these postcards send a common message towards a trans future; the simple guarantee of existing in it.
