The exhibit is curated by Saad Ghosn and grew out of a workshop created by artist Jay DeFazio. His project Inside Out is a community-based art initiative celebrating the strength, beauty, and resiliency of transgender individuals. He helps workshop participants conceive and create mixed-media self portraits.
