SUMMARY:: Metal Liverpool: Online: TReasured\, by Mandy Romero
DESCRIPTION:\nTReasured is a collaborative online artwork inspired by Mandy
  Romero’s personal archive accumulated over 35 years. An anthology of sh
 ort films\, original writing\, and photography will link together with col
 lected ephemera from her numerous productions\, projects and memories to c
 reate an interactive poetry of transgender. Created with several artists\;
  web designers\, film maker\, an archivist and a literary mentor\, this ev
 er growing encyclopedia will inspire new performances. The site\, designed
  for browsing on both mobile phones/tablets and computers\, will open with
  a set of images expressing poetic ideas which capture the manifold realit
 ies of the transgender life. Public interest in transgender has increased 
 greatly in the last ten years and this work will serve to supply that inte
 rest with new sources of information. It could be considered as a catalog 
 of an exhibition\, or of an auction-sale for the disposal of the contents 
 of a house. The overall aim is to increase interest in\, and the amount of
  reference material in circulation about\, trans ness in its many manifest
 ations\, and to encourage a playful and open-minded approach to it.\n\n\n\
 n‘It’s a way of gathering together all the things i’ve collected ove
 r the years that relate to and in some senses just express what it is all 
 about to be trans\, to transition\, to transform and to do the adventurous
  things in the world that have to do with gender - In the last 20 year the
 re’s been a huge increase in public attention the amount of attention be
 ing paid to trans\, and that’s good\, of course\, but with attention com
 es controversy\, argument\, issues\, lots of different types of negativiti
 es as well as positivities. At this moment in time\, we need a little bit 
 of clarity and overview - a lot of people are getting tired of the debate 
 and a bit confused about the issues so this site TReasured brings together
  a lot of very diverse information and perspectives and testimony and imag
 es and trivia and brings it all together to create a real sense of what th
 e world of trans is all about. Soon I’ll also invite people to contribut
 e to it and it will become an ongoing living archive of all the important 
 things people need to know about trans. It’s a switchback ride through a
  fairground of perspectives on things and journeys - so you make up your o
 wn understanding of what it is that trans is all about.’ - Mandy Romero
