Anita & Ava Collection

This is a photo collection of Ava, Anita, and their peers from the transgender community from George Town, Penang. This collection of photos comprises studio portraits, stage performances, everyday photography, and other social activities dating from the 1950s to early 2000. These photographs symbolize a time when they, together with their peers, were allowed to explore their sense of self while contributing to a lively cosmopolitan artistic culture in Malaysia.
