Aperture 229: Future Gender

Future Gender explores the relationship between photography and transgender lives, histories, and communities.

Guest-edited by Zackary Drucker, the artist, activist, and producer of the television series Transparent, the issue offers an urgent reflection on gender and society and considers how trans and gender-nonconforming individuals have used photography to imagine new expressions of social and personal identity, from the nineteenth century to today.
