"Tops: a meditation on top surgery, vulnerability and Black trans masculine healing, drawing from Lindsay's own experience of surgery. A way to connect to their community and carve out space for stories that haven't been documented."
"The artist outlines how this body of work has traced their personal journey of self-reclamation and emphasised the power of storytelling as survival."
An artist and photographer presented their latest work titled Tops, a multimedia project combining film and photography that explores top surgery, vulnerability, and Black trans masculine healing. Drawing from personal surgical experience, the project serves as a community connection tool and documentation of previously untold stories. The work traces the artist's journey of self-reclamation while demonstrating how storytelling functions as a survival mechanism. By creating this body of work, the artist establishes space for narratives within the Black trans masculine community that have historically been absent from mainstream documentation and cultural representation.
