An intimate conversation with trailblazing writers, in partnership with Cipher Press.
In a society that tries to erase trans history and trans presence, tonight we embrace trans excellence in writing because now more trans writers are being published than ever before.
Our authors are part of this new wave of talent:
- Juliet Jacques (author of Variations and Trans: A Memoir)
- Alison Rumfitt (author of Tell Me I’m Worthless)
- Liam Konemann (author of The Appendix)
- Trannieboi
- with performance from Kenya Sterling (author of 19 Years of Skin)
Join our writers and performers for an intimate conversation about their groundbreaking work and how their work will inspire future generations. How do these writers balance their right to visibility as trans people with the desire to break free of the categories that the cis-het publishing industry places them in?
Trans and non-binary people have always strived to share stories about themselves and otherness. Tonight we continue the tradition of our trans-cestors, filling our fictional and actual world with new possibilities.
