“Being a drag queen gives me an opportunity for freedom. I can invent myself in different ways, explore, imagine”

The Trans Milano city guide brings a fresh, honest, and direct perspective of the city to both travelers and locals. It adopts the transgender and LGBTQ community point of view and collects points of interest such as shops, bars, and organizations that provide support. The guide aims to improve accessibility between communities, break barriers and stereotypes, and create a dialogue about and within the LGBTQ community.

It is a puzzle of photographs, interviews, poetry, and vocabulary. Due to its soft cover and unique bounding technic with a rubber band, the guide enables easy distribution, sharing, and use of its parts jointly or each as a single unit. The design style is between a fanzine and a magazine, expressing urbanity, and communicating mainly through images and bold typography. Trans Milano documents and celebrates the story of the locals that makes this city so extravaganza. * See also The Trans Milano photography.
