Instagram Post 5: Cassils (Art)

Cassils, a trans performing artist, displayed 200 gallons of their own urine in New York City in 2017. This performance piece, part of the exhibit entitled “#PISSED,” was intended to protest the Trump administration’s rollback of federal  guidelines instructing schools that transgender students are to be allowed to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity.  This rollback makes it even more difficult for trans students to use the bathroom that they identify with. Cassils collected their urine every day since February of 2017 for approximately 200 days to show the burden that this rollback would inflict on trans students.
