Bigots are predictably upset over Trafalgar Square’s trans Fourth Plinth artwork

Outraged amateur critics have described Trafalgar Square’s latest Fourth Plinth commission, which features hundreds of trans and non-binary faces, as an “abomination”.

Teresa Margolles’ sculpture, Mil Veces un Instante (A Thousand Times in an Instant), was revealed on Wednesday (18 September). The artwork is made up of plaster casts of the faces of 726 trans, non-binary and gender-non-conforming victims of violence. 

Margolles said the creation was a tribute to her trans friend, Karla, who was murdered in the Mexican city of Juárez in December 2015. No one has ever been convicted of the crime.

In February, when details of the sculpture, which promotes trans rights, were announced, some conservative news outlets were far from impressed.
