Transphobia Poster, Chaz Howkins, 2017, digitally created poster

After adapting the sanitary bags to read "please dispose of transphobia in the bin provided" I felt this would be an appropriate slogan for a poster so created posters which I placed on the walls of public bathrooms.

This interactive artwork encourages the audience to take a tissue from the toilet tissue dispenser and then either keep it or add it to the pile on the floor.  Each tissue has written on it a quote from real life experiences in a gendered space - the women's bathroom.  The quotes come from either my own experiences of presenting androgynously or the experiences of those who present themselves similarly to myself.
