Witch-saints, club kids, and red-clay bodies. Daylighted rivers, the weight of god, and sequinned corsets. ‘Divine Acts’ is the first of its kind in Aotearoa - an anthology of art and writing entirely by transgender creatives. Recipient of the Ruth and Oswald L Kraus Innovator-in-Residence Scholarship at the Wai-te-ata Press and editor Zia Ravenscroft brings together the most exciting transgender and non-binary writers, filmmakers, poets, drag performers, and artists this country has to offer in a celebration of their identities and creativity. Gender is a performance. Let the show begin.
This launch will feature readings by contributors July Kerr, Aroha Witinitara, Basil Penwarden, Kris Girven, Alexandra Cherian, Kieran Trainor; and a performance by drag superstar Myrtle Montgomery. Celebrate the release of this landmark anthology and the future of queer publishing with us!
