These pieces span an array of different media, cultures, places, and time periods, illustrating the historical endurance and universality of both transition and the artistic, erotic, and semiotic attraction towards transition. Visitors will travel from Edo Japan; to a Mandak village in Papua New Guinea; to the European Renaissance; and Harlem, New York at the dawn of the 21st century, all with an eye towards illuminating transition as \u201cless a volitional act of identification, let alone a subversion of the gender binary, than a concrete response to living and working in the world\u201d (Gill-Peterson).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-canva wp-block-embed-canva\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"allegory of misfortune\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAGlr9vGxyI\/Ut_4nzv2wynLHRaEyO-EXw\/view?embed&amp;meta\" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" style=\"border: none; border-radius: 8px; width: 620px; height: 349px;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"fullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;Focusing through a Trans Marxist and materialist lens, this exhibition presents artworks and cultural artifacts from six of the Met\u2019s departments which depict transition, regardless of the subject\u2019s&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4162,"featured_media":10702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1268],"tags":[142,13,23],"coauthors":[1158],"class_list":["post-10149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-1268","tag-art-history","tag-curation","tag-museums"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4162"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10149"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10149\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10703,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10149\/revisions\/10703"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10149"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=10149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
