Witch-saints, club kids, and red-clay bodies. Daylighted rivers, the weight of god, and sequinned corsets. Divine Acts is the first of its kind in Aotearoa — an anthology of art and writing entirely by transgender creatives.
Recipient of the Ruth and Oswald L Kraus Innovator-in-Residence Scholarship at the Wai-te-ata Press, editor Zia Ravenscroft brings together the most exciting transgender and non-binary writers, filmmakers, poets, drag performers, and artists this country has to offer in a celebration of their identities and creativity. Gender is a performance. Let the show begin.
Contributors include:
Seren Ashmore, Baby Boudwin, Alexandra Cherian, Murphy Cody, Casey Coyte, Eden Denyer, Fetishini, Cassie Gilmore-Freeth, Kris Girven, July Kerr, Willem Koller, Cal Ma, Willow Marama, Myrtle Montgomery, Basil Penwarden, Theo, Thorfina, Kieran Trainor, Aroha Witinitara, Zia Ravenscroft.
A beautiful and timely collection of art and writing by trans creatives from Aotearoa – the first book of its kind published in New Zealand! The works within traverse a wide range of mediums and styles, from poetry to visual art to drag performance to film scripts and beyond. Each piece included speaks to the gorgeous vitality of trans creativity in our local communities – something rendered ever more precious to appreciate and protect in our current political climate.
