In the past few years, I have become engaged with communities of trans women online, and this series grew out of my love for these friends and consciousness of transmisogyny and cissexism. I want to depict the diversity of women and expand what society considers a female body.\x3c/em\x3e\x3cem\x3e\u201d\x3c/em\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eBruesselbach\u2019s work attempts to create a space for the bodies of trans women in traditional painting spaces where they are historically absent. The project\u2019s most celebrated aspects are that these women are paid to model for the work and \x3cstrong\x3eare only depicted as they want to be represented\x3c/strong\x3e - an aspect sadly missing from most representations of trans bodies.\u00a0\x3c/p\x3e\x3c/blockquote\x3e\x0a                    \x3c/div\x3e\x0a                \x0a            \x3c/li\x3e\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a            \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_photo_post\x22\x3e\x0a                \x3cimg src=\x22http://40.media.tumblr.com/aa6b9e32d16ba7e5508137a6f7e04eae/tumblr_ni40cnV6cg1rho98ro1_400.png\x22 alt=\x22notyourexrotic:\x0a\x0aYoni ki Baat 2015, an array of amazing performances, expression, and sisterhood, is scheduled in San Francisco for the weekend of April 17-19.\x0aWe are now calling for performers!\x0aThere are approximately 10 pieces that are in need of performers who identify as South Asian women.
