How artist and photographer Lindsay Perryman turned visual storytelling into a form of survival

The artist and photographer took the New York Nicer Tuesdays stage to talk the crowd through their latest film and photobook Tops : a meditation on top surgery, vulnerability and Black trans masculine healing, drawing from Lindsay’s own experience of surgery. A way to connect to their community and carve out space for stories that haven’t been documented, the artist outlines how this body of work has traced their personal journey of self-reclamation and emphasised the power of storytelling as survival.
