2.–29.6.2023 Ben Vale: That’s for boys

Kulttuurikeskus Caisan galleriassa

This exhibition is about men. Trans men to be more precise; meaning men who were assigned girls as birth, but who later realized that they are men. Each picture in this exhibition is based on stories and experiences from me and my models. Some of the topics are heavy, like the question of how childhood in a girl’s role affects one’s life as a man. Some are lighter, such as how hard it is to find fitting clothes as a short man. However, living as a trans man is a very different experience for each individual person and these photos can only offer a small window for this theme.

Entrance for this exhibition is free. This exhibition is suitable for visitors of all ages.
