Lorenzo Triburgo is a performance and lens-based artist, curator, and educator who has hosted workshops, lectured, and exhibited throughout the U.S. and abroad. Often in collaboration with their partner Sarah Van Dyck, PhD, they work to elevate trans*queer subjectivity and abolitionist politics. From painting oversized “Bob Ross, The Joy of Painting,” landscapes as backdrops for Transportraits, to standing in place before the Stonewall Inn for 24 hours, and most recently ceasing to take testosterone after 10 years of transgender “hormone therapy” as a performative attempt to embody gender abolition, their interdisciplinary methods weave personal experiences with political moments and theoretical concerns with calls for action and hope for a liberated future.  A Baxter ST/CCNY Resident and Bronx Museum AIM Fellow, permanent collections include the Museum of Contemporary Photography, (Chicago, IL), and Portland Art Museum, (Portland, OR). Select exhibition venues include BGSQD, NYC; SoMad, NYC; Kunst und Kulturhaus, Berne, Switzerland; Dutch Trading Post, Nagasaki, Japan; The Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, WA; and Oude Kerk, Amsterdam, the Netherlands as the winner of the Pride Photo Award. Select publications include GLQ, Art Journal, the Transgender Studies Reader 2, and Photography: A Queer History.

Lorenzo is a full-time (and fully online) instructor of art, and graduate faculty in women, gender, and sexuality studies at Oregon State University who teaches critical theory, photography, and gender studies with a focus on expanding liberatory learning practices in online environments.
