Romeo Roxman Gatt (m. 1989, Malta) huwa artist trans multimedjali li jaħdem bejn Malta u Londra. L-ispettaklu koreografiku, it-test, il-pittura, il-vidjo, il-ħoss, il-fotografija u l-iskultura kollha għandhom rwol fl-involviment tal-artist ma’ mistoqsijiet li jikkonċernaw is-sesswalità, l-identità u l-ġeneru. Għal żmien mhux ħażin, l-artist ħadem bit-temi tal-umanizzazzjoni u l-interazzjoni ma’ oġġetti tal-konsumaturi: li jagħmlu l-inanimat ikoniku u fetixizzat. Il-faxxinu tiegħu lejn il-kultura tal-karozzi kif ukoll l-osservazzjoni kritika tiegħu ta’ mġiba maċista (speċifikament vis-à-vis l-irġiel Maltin) jippersistu. Huwa wkoll interessat li jiddokumenta u jarkivja esperjenzi ta’ persuni trans u riċentament nieda l-proġett Rosa Kwir. Dan il-proġett jirrivolvi madwar nozzjonijiet alternattivi ta’ maskulinità, u jressaq flimkien stejjer ta’ rġiel Maltin trans, persuni mhux binarji u maskili fiċ-ċentru. Huwa wkoll il-konfundatur tal-ewwel spazju u gallerija tal-arti kontemporanja queer f’Malta. Romeo kiseb Maġisteru fil-Komunikazzjoni Viżwali mir-Royal College of Art u kien artist soċju fl-Open School East, mudell ta’ skola tal-arti alternattiva mhux akkreditata li tiffoka fuq l-inklużjoni u l-koproduzzjoni.
