           Music is central to the human experience, and the instruments we make are powerful tools of human expression in their own right. Musicologist Max Keller considers the familiar
           <a style="color:#000000;">
            <strong>
             form of the cello
            </strong>
           </a>
           in relation to their gender transition. While the instrument was supposedly modeled after the female body, Keller looks back to gender ambiguity in ancient Cycladic figures and to 20th-century artists like Charlotte Moorman, who famously bowed a shirtless Nam June Paik in a performance that questioned basic assumptions around gender and power.
