The note below is from my Facebook & Craigslist ad seeking more participants for my latest project. My goal is to create an ongoing series of portraits and oral histories – exploring gender, body image/size, sexuality and race – to be shown in a gallery and web space. I am so very excited about this project, particularly for two reasons: firstly, I think the stories of people with these experiences aren’t heard nearly enough and secondly, I think that we humans have a great deal in common, despite our differences. If you’d like to participate in my project, or have any questions, please email me at: amelia [at] ameliaaviles [dot] com. I hope to hear from you and I look forward to hearing your story!

Do you identify as genderqueer, androgynous, transgender, intersex, femme, boi or butch? Or are you of mixed racial/ethnic background? Perhaps you are a person of size? Maybe you are many of these labels or something else entirely?
I’m a San Francisco-based, queer, 31 yr old female artist/student seeking people to participate in my audio-recorded oral history and portrait photography project as part of a course at San Francisco State University. The theme of this project is exploring spaces between the cultural binaries that exist within gender, sexuality, race and body size/image. Participants will receive a copy of their photo shoot and a transcript of their oral history. Release form required.
The interviews/shoots will take place in the San Francisco Bay area from November 26th-29th, 2010 (Friday-Monday, though there is some flexibility on dates). If you or anyone you know of may be interested, please contact me here on Facebook or at amelia [at] AmeliaAviles [dot] com. Additionally, you can find out more about my work at AmeliaAviles.com and AmeliaAvilesPhotography.com. Thank you for your interest!
