Surrey Swans provides a meeting place for transgendered folk and their partners, friends and families.
The Surrey Swans pre-Christmas buffet happened last night. We had a really nice time. Always good to see people and catch up with what’s happening in their lives.
From the top left we have:
Emma, Laura, Adele, Clara, Mia, Chelle, Gina
Vickie, Tina, Adrienne, Rachel, Chloe, Susan, Chloe
Andrea, Sally
We had a good meeting on Sunday June 5th. It was even warm (and dry) enough to sit outside for a while.
Jo came to visit along with a display of products, with an opportunity to take a look at things and try them out along with helpful hint;,s tips and advice.
Back in November 2015 we had a visit from Ernielson Limbo.
As I mentioned then,Ernielson is a second year BA Photography student at the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham. Ernielson has been working on a project on The Third Gender. Part of this involves merging portrait photographs of people with the text of things they have said to produce abstract representations.
I said that I’d post a link to the images that Ernielson created one he had completed them. So here is Ernielson’s Facebook page and here is a link to the album of pictures.
They are great!
As Ernielson says:
This body of work attemps to destroy the socially constructed boundaries of gender in the contemporary world. By the own words of those photographed, the images are manipulated and corrupted. Symbolising the refusual to be categorised and challenges the binary concept of gender as well as expressing gender freedom.
A special Thank You to the Surrey Swans
Thank you Ernielson, it was great to meet you. And, of course, you are welcome to visit the Swans any time at all.
