In the lead up to Trans* Pride, local photographer Nick Ford shows his support for a project created by a local, young member of the Trans Community.
THE project, entitled Tremors, comprises of a series of images created by Jason Williams to illustrate the sense of disconnection sometimes felt by members of the Trans Community in their hometown.
Brighton born and bred, Jason is currently studying photography at Brighton City College and this is the first time he has exhibited his work outside of the College.
Nick is therefore particularly keen to encourage the local community to embrace this rare opportunity to support Jason by viewing the young photographer’s work.
Nick said: “When I first saw ‘Tremors’ I was struck by the significance of the message Jason’s work conveyed to me. What it said to me is that even here in Brighton and Hove, young trans people can still grow up having experiences that leave them feeling unsafe and uncertain of their place in the world.
“As a young gay man myself who also grew up here in Brighton, I could relate to this in many ways and it also reminded me of the challenges I’ve also experienced over the years of living here. With Trans Pride approaching, this is clearly an important opportunity to help Jason and hopefully other trans people by displaying this important and thought-provoking work.”
