PERFEKT TRANS~

I can not be unfaithful to the body, so I take what has become its speech and throw it up in the air, as one does confetti.

Weaving lyric, collage, lyric essay and sound, PERFEKT TRANS~ makes home for Suni—boi, girlboi and nothing—gathering lived experiences with existential dysphoria, the afterlife of traumas, embodiment and gender divinity.

As a trans~narrative written by reversal from a beyond rooted in liberation, PERFEKT TRANS~ is a deconstructed book resisting usual demands of linear transitions and a stuffy visibility. Within its playful, conceptual and durational propositions, new, errant, vital systems of relation with the text/narrative device unravel.

Ọlákìítán Adéolá continues explorations with the lyric and fragmentary as form, a reclaiming of language, poetics, and eros nearer to the wild heart of this trans~ experience.

PERFEKT TRANS~ was selected for the Sounds About Riso mentorship program and published by Lucky Risograph.

Ọlákìítán Adéolá is a trans*themme poet, experiential artist and curator living and working in tides, spirals & reversals.

Riso Colors Used: Flatgold, Bright Red, Kelly Green, Fluorescent Pink.
