Hedreen Gallery

As trans Americans are under siege by an onslaught of anti-trans legislation, she also broadens our lens. Vaughan identifies the danger of this discourse with Project 42: Flags, seen from the window outside, and the screenprints of Misinformation is a Virus.

We invite you to visit the Hedreen Gallery to see the flags and posters in-person, Wednesday through Saturday 1 – 6 PM.

Join us Molly Jae Vaughan’s Exhibit — Transition as Performance, Life as Resistance opens next week on Wednesday, January 15th.

Molly Jae Vaughan fights for herself and her trans community to be seen as wholly human through art. Transition as Performance, Life as Resistance reflects Vaughan’s multi-disciplinary approach, with mediums including painting, performance, photography, textile, and screen printing. Each body of work thoughtfully, exquisitely crafted and yet secondary to the ultimate goal of communication. The uniting, principal question: what does it mean to be trans in America at this moment?

Vaughan shares her deeply personal experience of transitioning to gender alignment in figurative paintings that lay bare the most intimate moments of her own becoming. Vaughan is unflinching in her self-examination and revelation, in turn demanding the same from her audience.
