Mariette Pathy Allen documents the transgender community of Cuba that is growing in visibility and acceptance. Under a slowly evolving model of communism, "the women [in Transcuba] are engaged in quiet, banal moments, or else are looking resolutely at the viewer . . . demanding to be seen on their own terms and turf."—The Advocate
Mariette Pathy Allen has been photographing the transgender community for over 30 years. Through her artistic practice, she has been a pioneering force in gender consciousness, contributing to numerous cultural and academic publications about gender variance and lecturing throughout the globe. It won the 2004 Lambda Literary Award in the Transgender/Genderqueer category. Mariette’s life’s work is being archived by Duke University's Rare Book and Manuscripts Library, and the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's Studies. In addition to her work with gender, Mariette’s background as a painter frequently leads her to photographic investigations of color, space, and cultural juxtapositions such as east/west, old/new, handmade/manufactured.
