Guidelines for institutions, galleries and curators working with trans, non-binary and gender diverse artists in Australia.

CLEAR EXPECTATIONS: Guidelines for institutions, galleries and curators working with trans, non-binary and gender diverse artists in Australia (2.4 MB)

Best practice for the contemporary arts written by artists Spence Messih and Archie Barry, and supported by Countess and NAVA.

This resource has been written on the stolen Lands
of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney)
and the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations, Naarm
(Melbourne). Indigenous sovereignty has never been
ceded. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and
emerging and recognise their continuing connection
to land, water and culture. Always was, always will be,
Aboriginal land.

This resource has been compiled by artists,
Spence Messih & Archie Barry. This resource
has been copy-edited by Bobuq Sayed and
proofread by EO Gill. This resource, in its first
iteration, has been financially assisted by
Countess and NAVA

This resource has been compiled by Spence Messih and Archie Barry,
and it therefore reflects our personal experiences and the specificities and
limitations embedded in our worldviews as young transmasculine artists
in an Australian context. While we have attempted a thorough approach to
consider multiple issues, we acknowledge that this resource will be unable
to address all situations, as the art world, gender and language are constantly
changing constructs.

A non-exhaustive overview of suggested best practice for art spaces
ranging from artist run initiatives to larger institutes, when working with
trans, non-binary and gender diverse creatives.
