Project Overview
J. Jennifer Espinoza’s The Moon is Trans is one of the notable poems about trans womanhood of the 2010’s. This reinterpretation of the poem into physical space is an expression of reverence for the moon, an exploration of the frailty and resilience of trans womanhood as both an embodied and disembodied form, and a reflection on the tragedy and beauty of constantly being made to be defined against.
