Crisis Editions (US): Half-light: Notes on Violence from the Trans Underworld

Half-light: Notes on Violence from the Trans Underworld" emerges in the wake of rising social and political violence against trans communities. When trans life becomes a form of death-in-waiting, what can we learn from making kin in the underworld? Poisoned wetlands, violent landscapes, and trans ancestors gather in the essays; marked by their ongoing proximity to harm, their perspectives offer queer communities urgent strategies of resistance through opacity, disorientation, and national reckoning. Half-light is an outcome from a two year long performance and image-making project through the Centre for Near Life Research.
