Transcend: Freedom to Love
With an introduction by Carol McCusker
“Sandra Chen Weinstein’s images—often artfully framed, with a disarming intimacy—reveal a vibrant, complicated community…create an arc to the ineffable and the inevitable” .
Sandra Chen Weinstein, an award-winning Taiwanese American photographer, unveils her latest commissioned photo book, Transcend: Freedom to Love (The New Press, November 2024). This powerful and intimate collection of images and personal stories is seen through the diversity of representation from Taiwan, Japan, and Iceland to Australia and the United States.
In these times, visual representation of queer love is as important as it has ever been; Transcend showcases some of the work from a long career of photographing the LGBTQ community, especially the trans community. Weinstein’s child recently came out as queer, trans, and non-binary at the age of twenty-eight.
“A gorgeously packaged, full-color book, Transcend challenges many assumptions about LGBTQ life in the United States and is an enduring visual testament to the strength, resilience, and joy of the queer community in the face of discrimination, inequality, and violence.” – The New Press
Transcend book design by Emerson, Wajdowicz Studios (EWS).
