Family: The Self Evident Truths Project

By iO Tillett Wright

Family: The Self Evident Truths Project examines Americans, asking them whether they are "other than straight," and photographing respondents who self-evaluate themselves to be "anything other than 100% straight." Between 2010 and 2016, iO Tillett Wright traveled to ALL 50 States in America and photographed 10,000 people who identify as ANYTHING other than 100% straight or 100% cis-gender (a person whose sense of personal identity and gender corresponds with their birth sex), with the goal of installing them on the National Mall, in front of the Washington Monument. The LGBT spectrum, long subjected to violence, rejection and stigma at every turn, is changing. A new generation is coming to the fore, one less concerned with labeling themselves, and more concerned with existing happily, free from the constraints of labels and the dangers of violence. These are their faces.
