TRANSGENDER YOUTHS
UNDER MY SKIN is a multimedia experience that aims to share the stories of transgender and gender-diverse youth through still and moving pictures.
This project aims to center that idea by looking at the lived experiences of trans children. While many creative pieces today tend to focus on the trauma of such experiences, this project breaks that narrative by presenting the participants as they want to be seen. The focus of this piece are the people, their stories, and what they want to share with the world.
