"Photographer Jamie Robarge explores transgender identity in 'Kingstress'. She documents A. Love, a makeup artist, on his journey through life. Kingstress is defined as a (male or female) two spirited soul that has both male and female characteristics. 'For “Kingstress” I want viewers to connect with A. Love. One can experience small personal moments in A. Love’s life that can coincide with their own. A. Love removes societal gender boundaries and experiences the best things in life by being true to himself.' " VIA The Milwaukee LGBT Community Center

Just a reminder that "Kingstress" is still showing at the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center and if you're coming to our discussion there tonight it would be the perfect chance to check it out.

CL > Milwaukee - Jamie Robarge

Jamie Robarge (MIAD) posted three different ads to Craigslist looking for people with "interesting lifestyles"–no boundaries, anything goes! Jamie will meet her respondents in public spaces and listen to their stories, then craft photographic portraits of them. Craigslist is marketed as a place for community and Jamie is exploring the people that help make it a community.
