POST/TRANS/ANIMAL probes the interconnectedness of posthumanism, transsexuality, and the treatment of non-human animals to deconstruct conceptions of the natural. By creating connections through contamination, empathy, and becoming, this project images new possibilities for embodiment and coexistence – transcending human exceptionalism.
