Pessima Vol.1 – B. Filippo Chilelli Edition

400 pages, 16 editorials, 32 artists involved.

We believe that a magazine of Trans* perspective is crucial for our community. Our goal is to create a network in which we are able to support, economically and artistically, emerging Trans* artists while we grow as a collective. We already had the opportunity to interact with many interesting sensibilities, forming a connection that goes both ways: We grow as we help and are helped to grow.

We understood that involving some of the artists we get inspired from in our projects is just as important as discovering new emerging artists from the trans youth, with whom we feel such a strong connection. As young Trans* artists ourselves, we are constantly empowered and recharged by interacting with the intimacies of Trans* art and truly believe in the importance of shaping our magazine as a point of convergence for everyone who needs it.

Being Trans* and Queer has always meant more than our individuality. You are not alone.
