In this episode, superstar model-actress-writer and certified Tumblr icon Hari Nef joins us to discuss the electric energy of the mid-2010s New York fashion scene— VFILES, Hood by Air, Eckhaus Latta, and more— and the collision of early online content and the fashion industry that birthed some of the most brilliant creative personae of our generation. We learn about Hari's cutthroat electioneering of the Dazed 100, her double life of uptown collegiate excellence and downtown nightlife chaos, street casting in SoHo and shitposting on the main grid, reflections on a decade of woke ideology, and so much more.

As the 2024 Sundance Film Festival kicks off, Imara is joined by the creators of last year's award-winning documentary, The Stroll. The film explores the history of New York's Meatpacking District from the perspective of the trans sex workers who lived and worked there.

Next, Imara chats with co-director Kristen Lovell about why she began to document her experience as a sex worker on the stroll and how she's learned to navigate the world of prestige film festivals and studios.

All I can say is I knocked it out of the park with this one. I'm finally telling my sweet friend Cookie the story of my absolute FAVORITE scammer: Liz Carmichael. This one's got everything: libertarian science fiction, engineering mishaps, three wheeled cars, stock fraud, Unsolved Mysteries, and a woman so magnetic that she girlbossed millions of dollars despite having NO PRODUCT. I sincerely mean it when I say that I am obsessed with her. This episode honestly evades my descriptive writing skills -- in part because I've worked 14 days in a row, in part because it's got so much going on. I promise this is a great one.

In Selfie Aesthetics: Seeing Trans Feminist Futures in Self-Representational Art (Duke University Press, 2022) Nicole Erin Morse examines how trans feminine artists use selfies and self-representational art to explore transition, selfhood, and relationality. Morse contends that rather than being understood as shallow emblems of a narcissistic age, selfies can produce politically meaningful encounters between creators and viewers. Through close readings of selfies and other digital artworks by trans feminist artists, Morse details a set of formal strategies they call selfie aesthetics: doubling, improvisation, seriality, and nonlinear temporality. Morse traces these strategies in the work of Zackary Drucker, Vivek Shraya, Tourmaline, Alok Vaid-Menon, Zinnia Jones, and Natalie Wynn, showing how these artists present improvisational identities and new modes of performative resistance by conveying the materialities of trans life. Morse shows how the interaction between selfie creators and viewers constructs collective modes of being and belonging in ways that envision trans feminist futures. By demonstrating the aesthetic depth and political potential of selfie creation, distribution, and reception, Morse deepens understandings of gender performativity and trans experience. Daniela Meneses Sala is Peruvian Academic and Journalist. She holds an MSc in Gender (Sexuality) from the London School of Economics and Political Science. In October, she is starting a PhD in Latin American Studies at Cambridge University, funded by the Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholars Programme. Learn more about your ad choices.

We're coming up on Valentine's Day. This can be a difficult time for trans people, because the love our culture celebrates on that day so rarely reflects us. So this week the TransLash Podcast invites two incredible guests to talk about the power and the freedom to be found in T4T (Trans For Trans) love, sex, and relationships.First Imara talks to artist, producer and trans woman Zackary Drucker. In 2016, she coauthored a book with her ex partner Rhys Ernst called Relationship. It's a deeply intimate look at two trans lives undergoing radical change, and their relationship with each other in that moment. Then you'll hear from author and essayist Britni de la Cretaz. Britni wrote an essay for Catapult called “How Queer Sex Liberated Me” about their journey finding sexual freedom and fulfillment through sex with other trans people.You can connect with us on social media!Follow TransLash Media @translashmedia on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.Follow Imara Jones on Twitter (@ImaraJones) and Instagram (@Imara_jones_)Follow our guests on social media!Zackary Drucker: @zackarydrucker (Twitter) @zackarydrucker (Instagram)Britni de la Cretaz: @britnidlc (Twitter) @britnidlc (Instagram)Queerkwe Designs StoreQueerkwe Designs InstagramTransLash Podcast is produced by Translash Media.

The official book, Original Plumbing: The Best of Ten Years of Trans Male Culture, was released in 2019 by the Feminist Press. As a photographer, Amos Mac's visual art has been exhibited in galleries internationally, featured in dozens of publications including The New York Times, Interview, and Vogue Italia, and lives on in multiple museum collections. He shot the groundbreaking Fall '15 campaign for Swedish fashion brand & Other Stories, featuring an all trans cast and crew. The iconic collaborative series he created with artist Zackary Drucker formed the content of his 2011 art publication Translady Fanzine, with an alternative selection of images exhibited as Distance is Where the Heart is, Home is Where you Hang Your Heart, at Luis De Jesus Los Angeles.

HBO Documentary Films' THE LADY AND THE DALE, a four-part documentary series from Emmy(R)-winning producers Mark and Jay Duplass (HBO's "Room 104") and directed by Nick Cammilleri and Zackary Drucker, traces the audacious story of Elizabeth Carmichael, a larger-than-life entrepreneur who rose to prominence during the 1970s oil crisis with her promotion of a fuel-efficient, three-wheeled car known as The Dale. At a time when three big American automobile manufacturers ruled the road, Liz launched a futurist vehicle that promised to get 70 miles to the gallon. Her promotional zeal thrust her into fierce public and media scrutiny which uncovered a web of mystery and suspicion about the car's technology and her own checkered past. THE LADY AND THE DALE is a probing exploration of family and identity seen through the lens of the rise and fall of a fearless and wily innovator, an extraordinarily resilient woman and a dedicated parent. Co-director Zackary Drucker (Nick Cammilleri) joins us for a conversation on one of the more convoluted personal stories and one of the most shameless schemes in American business history. For news and updates go to: hbo.com/documentaries/the-lady-and-the-dale The series debuts with two back-to-back episodes SUNDAY, JANUARY 31 (9:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), with new episodes airing subsequent Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. THE LADY AND THE DALE will premiere on HBO and be available to stream on HBO Max.

We are so excited to welcome trans icon Zackary Drucker to the show to talk about her fascinating new HBO documentary series The Lady the Dale. The series dives into the complicated life of G. Elizabeth Carmichael, a trans woman whose Twentieth Century Motor Car Corporation created the three wheel car known as the Dale. Zackary & Ian discuss Liz's life and legacy and the ways the world responded to her gender identity at the time. The Lady and the Dale premieres on HBO on January 31st.

with Zackary Drucker, Ahree Lee, Sandra de la Loza, Jaklin Romine. Moderated by Mario Ontiveros. In this episode, the artists continue their conversation about visibility and access. Woven through their talk are issues of vulnerability, generosity, and accountability, as well as intolerance, privilege, and art-washing.  They talk about their paths— to Los Angeles and to their current projects—and how their frameworks have shifted and adapted. One of the roles of the artist, Ahree Lee says, is to counteract the deficiencies in the world around them.  Zackary Drucker says, “We're really called upon in this moment to create a new structure in which everybody is provided for, and everybody's needs are provided for.” The artists debate various tactics to ensure access, activate imagination, and create alternative models for living today. Both Zackary and Ahree ask us to consider, as Ahree says, “how we are all connected, that there is no such thing as an individual good. There is only collectivism.” This conversation was recorded in February 2020, before the global pandemic and mass uprising in the name of racial justice and against police brutality.

with Zackary Drucker, Ahree Lee, Sandra de la Loza, and Jaklin Romine. Moderated by Mario Ontiveros.  In this episode, the artists discuss the ethical pitfalls and radical possibilities of visibility. Sandra de la Loza acknowledges that we are living “in a moment where we're overly surveilled and overly visible” with A.I., facial recognition software and the pervasiveness of social media. She reminisces about the magically transformative spaces of the “underground.”  She asks a really challenging question: “How do we create structures where we can have more honest, more intimate, more vulnerable conversations?”  On the flip side of “becoming visible,” they also talk about erasure and invisibility. Access is not universal, and even the most ethically-minded efforts can still be exclusionary. For example, to the disabled body. Jaklin Romine reminds us that many progressive institutions and centers often they lack awareness that disabled bodies are denied entry to their spaces. She says, “Any space that is not physically accessible to the disabled body is not radical.” This episode was recorded in February 2020, about a month before the COVID-19 pandemic caused LA to shut down and before the mass uprisings in the name of racial justice and against police brutality.

Relationship (Prestel Publishing) Male becomes female. Female becomes male. Life becomes art. Private becomes public. A major feature of the 2014 Whitney Biennial, this series of photographs that the New York Times called “extremely provocative” explores ideas of transformation both physical and psychological. It’s the story of two people in love, in a culture where the notion of gender has become more fluid and at a time when trans people have never been more accepted. As both subjects and creators of these images, Drucker and Ernst, both of whom transitioned gender, represent themselves in the midst of shifting subjectivities and identities. Collectively, these photographs, which have been compared to the work of Larry Clark, Nan Goldin, and Cindy Sherman, document the story of their romantic and creative collaboration over a period of six years. Simultaneously narrative and documentary, they touch on a host of dynamics, offering autobiography as ambiguity and unraveling identity as a construction. Praise for Relationship Documenting a six-year relationship with photos, video stills, letters and ephemera, this book is a stunning, intimate, and wholly original visual narrative by two rising artists who “put[s] queer consciousness on the front burner.” -The New York Times Zackary Drucker is an independent artist, cultural producer, and trans woman who breaks down the way we think about gender, sexuality, and seeing.
