Black trans lives are often left out of the conversation on police violence. In 2008, Duanna Johnson was likely murdered by police officers in Memphis after they beat her during her imprisonment a few months prior. A video of the attack was published online and led to some minor punishments for the officers (such as being assigned to desk work). While some have called for federal investigation, no one has been charged for her murder. Not to mention Johnson was likely being held on false charges in the first place.

It’s important to note that this graphic reads “Black Trans Lives Matter”.  The purpose of this, like the hashtag #blacklivesmatter, is to highlight the way that black trans people in particular are subject to a disproportionate amount of violence. This is an issue of black trans lives, not all trans lives, or all lives.

"In 1928, a serial killer named Hamilton “Albert” Fish took a little girl named Grace Budd into the woods of upstate New York and she was never heard from again — and this sick destroyer’s own anguish was perhaps never heard the first time. Today few people would recognize his name upon hearing it — but multi-artform practitioner Rachel Mason was there a century later to note the strange counterpoint between that name and that of statesman Hamilton Fish II, whose obituary appeared on the same front page of a New York newspaper as the notice of the other Hamilton’s execution in 1936. Mason’s mission, over eight years, became to unearth their stories, and those of the people around them; to pay attention to what was untold and spin a story or her own from the pulp of ancient chronicles and the forgotten girl who fell in the woods."

The Cannibal and the Statesman: Rachel Mason Performs Her Karaoke Rock-Opera Film

Up on the screen of Williamsburg's Spectacle Theater on Friday night, as Rachel Mason pounded away on a typewriter, dressed like Cary Grant in His Girl Friday, Ms. Mason was also standing a few feet from the front row, in the flesh, gazing at the audience in the same 1930s get-up, brown fedora obscuring one eye. She was performing along with her…

This is a rare view of the interior of Sing Sing prison's former Death House. Behind the door on the right is the room which electrocuted Albert Fish, Ethyl and Julius Rosenberg among many others. This sad clown portrait hung on a nearby wall outside of the former Death Chamber. I was allowed in while researching to shoot scenes for The Lives of Hamilton Fish.
