Description

We are a group of gender-nonconforming/ trans artists with a refugee/ migration background and were all part of Art for Change. Art for Change is a creative knowledge co-creation project, which was part of a study within the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, department of Sociology, that centered the knowledge, experiences and art practices of 10 LGBTQI+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/ questioning, intersex and other gender identities and sexualities outside of heterosexuality and cisgender) migrants/ refugees. The project triggered a lot of reflection on many levels, as well as common ground to come together to continue a creative collaboration.

Trans-Clash is a one-day event with several performances, an exhibition and a queer (safer) clubbing experience, by, for and with the queer/trans/migrant community and allies. Trans-Clash aims to address paradoxical societal expectations and assumptions by telling and sharing our own stories and art without being tokenized. An event that connects and shares ideas, art and celebrates queerness and transness by trans-clashing and negotiating critical, sometimes funny, highly personal, always beautiful and humanizing creations in a relatively safe creative environment on our own terms.
