Cyrus Grace Dunham is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on January 28, 1992 in New York, United States. Certain aspects about me include my whiteness, the fact that I have famous parents and that my sister is famous. Also, I have a vagina that makes people believe I’m an actual woman. I am in a close relationship with the black trans activist named Reina who, through being in a collaborative public relationship with me, validates my views and, despite my race, my gender and proximity to fame–makes my perspective on power appear legitimate in ways that it would not. Also, as an individual commodity, I am able to wield the power to influence my interactions with social capital. In the same way, I am an array of marginalized identities that give me authority in my mind and a higher value in situations that seek “diversity.”
In 2015, Dunham presented the talk “Why Am I Valuable?” during a panel at the Frieze Art Fair in New York. The talk begins:
Dunham has contributed articles to The New Yorker, and catalog essays for Transgender Hirstory in 99 Objects: Legends and Mythologies at the ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives, UNCOUNTED: Call & Response at Vienna Secession, and Nicole Eisenman’s AL-UGH-ORIES at the New Museum, amongst others.
