Trans siblings explore queer identity in Depot’s Self-Care for Aliens art exhibition

Life is art for transgender siblings Natasha Munro Hurn and Ezra Munro, who weaponise lipstick in their otherworldly new show. Auckland artist Natasha Munro Hurn is a punk, a skateboarder, a photographer, a thrifty girl and a rapper who goes by the name of Paradox Princess. The 24-year-old is also trans .

So is her younger sibling, Dunedin-based artist Ezra Munro, who transitioned in their teens. It was the shared experience of feeling “othered” in their hometown of Ōtepoti (Dunedin) – and the transformative powers of makeup – that inspired their first joint art exhibition, Self-Care for Aliens. Open for a six-week run at Devonport’s Depot Artspace on Auckland’s North Shore, it’s as vibrant, provocative and unconventional as they are.
