Very bad
Pessima is a transgender and non-binary art magazine.
It is an annual and independent project based in Milan, which offers a point of convergence in the representation of Trans* subjectivities and investigates the way in which they express themselves through young contemporary art .
A collection that highlights the heterogeneity of the subjects represented, dealing with themes such as self-representation , experimentation , mutation and extensions of the body .
The name " Pessima " is a derogatory word, tied to what public opinion often thinks of the trans* community. By reclaiming it, we overturn the social paradigm , replacing hatred with the pride that comes from self-determination.
Pessima 's contribution to the publishing field is a new perspective on contemporary art trends, focusing on the new post-human and avant-garde art practices emerging through the activities of young trans* creatives.
In essence, it is a project aimed at broadening our understanding of gender and identity, while also serving as an archive for such contemporary trends.
We believe a magazine with a trans* perspective is crucial for our community. Our goal is to create a network where we can support emerging trans* artists, both financially and artistically, as we grow as a collective. We've already had the opportunity to interact with many interesting voices, forming a connection that goes both ways: We grow as we help, and we are helped to grow .
