Venus de Mars is a multidisciplinary artist and musician, best known as a singer-songwriting transgender rock star and leader of the glam-punk trans-band Venus de Mars & All the Pretty Horses. Venus is mid-process in writing a memoir reflecting her thirty-year trans journey and place in this fast-changing, trans-embracing-backlashing world where we now find ourselves.
Lynette Reini-Grandell is the author of two poetry books, “Wild Verge” and “Approaching the Gate” (winner of the Northeastern Minnesota Book Award for Poetry), and the memoir “Wild Things: A Trans-Glam-Punk-Rock Love Story.” Her poems are on the walls of the Carlton Arms Hotel in Manhattan, in an installation created with her spouse Venus de Mars.
Cat Tyc is an interdisciplinary writer and artist. She has presented and performed at the Microscope Gallery, Anthology Film Archives, Brooklyn Museum, Hauser & Wirth, Kassel Fest, and the synthesis gallery in Berlin. Her first solo exhibition, SIGNIFICANT OTHERNESS, was presented at Tanja Grunert Gallery in 2022. Cat teaches writing at the School of the Visual Arts in New York City and lives in Hudson.
