Artists & Designers 9 years, 7 months agoHi everyone! I’m new to Autostraddle, and I’m trying to find other artists who make work that is outside of a heteronormative/gender binary narrative.

Cool! that sounds really interesting and kind of similar to what I’m trying to do with my work. Do you have some artists in mind that you are looking at already? What style(s) of art are you working in?
I’m actually struggling to find other female artists who talk about female homosexuality. I have found plenty of male artists who do. I don’t know if I’m looking in the wrong places? I create figurative ceramic sculpture and for the past year have been using it to talk about my own gender/sexuality discoveries. I’m currently using visual cues…[Read more]

There’s a lot of photographers and video artists documenting their experiences of (or about) being lesbian, queer, trans, and in drag. It’s less easy to fin…[Read more]
