This poster was commissioned for the third meeting of the Early Modern Trans Studies conference at Boston University in March of 2025, which featured dozens of brilliant presentations on trans history, literature, botany and astrology from the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
The image on the poster is a linoleum block print following a woodcut of the hermaphroditic "Monster of Ravenna" from Ambroise Paré's 16th century treatises "On Monsters and Marvels." The text comes from Baruch Spinoza's "Ethics."
