    Deliberately Corporeal

    is some stardust currently masquerading as a queer, disabled writer near madison, wisconsin. they spend most of their time being a menace to their favourite person by sending poems and songs to make her blush in public, but occasionally take a break to write, edit, and play with the dogs.

A sketchy black ink and crayon drawing of purple flowers and green leaves on white is sliced horizontally through the center to frame the word 'en*gendered' in a very very dark green. The entire image is bordered in sage green.

Our sibling publication en*gendered aims to gather experiences of gender and embodiment and the intersection of both.

The nature of the work that ends up in Corporeal can be dark, traumatic, and triggering. We aim to create a safe space for people to express themselves honestly about topics that society often shushes. To scream into the void and find solace in the company of otherness.

Your health and well-being are important to us, and we encourage you to take a break or skip the piece if there are ones you find difficult to face today.

Psycom has a great list of international mental health resources if you or a loved one need immediate help.

A Whole World of Embodiment:

People and Programmes We’re Excited to See

  • Ocean Mateus

    The Mind Behind the Bodies

    Using a combination of traditional cross hatching, and modern digital art, I try to create pieces that create a sense of empowerment in the viewer.

    Often, realistic life art is centred around white, non-disabled, cisgender bodies which can leave entire demographics feeling erased from history. I want to create art that reflects and celebrates all types of bodies, with a focus on transgender and queer identities.

  • The Center for Applied Transgender Studies

    Our Mission

    We are an independent nonprofit research organization run by transgender people for transgender people. We believe that dedication to public service and commitment to justice should be at the heart of academic inquiry. We also believe that education should not only occur in classrooms. Guided by those beliefs, we facilitate and promote the empirical study of transgender issues with the ultimate aim of informing policy-making and public discourse in ways that improve quality of life for the transgender community.

  • Invisible Disability Project

    Invisible Disability Project (IDP) is a social/cultural movement and an educational media project that consciously disrupts “invisibility” imposed upon unseen disabilities at the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality. We are devoted to building human connections and self-advocacy by dismantling shame and stigma. IDP effects change through public conversations and interactive online content with the goal of creating an informed, mutually supportive community.

    More information about IDP projects and campaigns can be found HERE
