In her collage and watercolor series FREE OUR SIBLINGS///FREE OURSELVES, Tuesday Smillie explores two eras of the fight for transgender justice in New York City. Along side two works that represent the early 1970s Christopher Street Liberation Day protests, this work focuses on a more recent Trans Day of Action organized against the unjust sentencing and incarceration of hate-crime survivor and trans activist CeCe McDonald. Tuesday Smillie (American, born 1981). WE CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT OUR LIVES, 2012. Watercolor on paper, collage on board. Private collection. © Tuesday Smillie -- source link
