Alix Stria, The Encyclopedia of Gender, 2017
Alix Stria’s The Encyclopedia of Gender is a manufactured, small-format book assembling 381 nonbinary gender identities currently in use. By presenting the flags and basic details of each gender identity, the publication visualizes the variety and richness of graphic gender representation and moreover allows for a visual, image historical comparison. Beautifully crafted, and not least to its opulence of colour, the book is a pleasure for the eye, mind, and hand.
