Trans + Enby Pioneers

Coloring Outside The Lines + Making History

While researching art and photo collections, I discovered so many stories of Queer Pioneers throughout the ages.

• So many we made a gallery of their names, photos, and Wikipedia links.

• So many we made a mini-collection featuring them in reimagined fauxtos, self-portraits, and vintage photography.

• Both are called Making History.
