ABOUT
Charlie “Chayyim” Shaw (born 2000, Oakland, CA) is a mixed-media artist who grounds his practice in lens-based work, writing, and archival practices. He often combines his own drag artistry with an extensively researched archive which focuses on trans experiences, drag performance, gay masculinity, art and photo history, as well as pop culture. Chayyim`s work both speaks to his specific experiences as a transgender gay man, and to the larger systems and constructions of gender which we all, trans or cis, engage and negotiate with daily.
