About: Visibility & Remembrance: Standing with the Trans Community is an international art exhibit that centers trans people as it invites artists to create and submit work that stands in solidarity with the trans community. The exhibit runs from November 17, 2021 to April 1, 2022; these dates were chosen to honor two annual international events 鈥� Transgender Day of Remembrance (November 20) and Transgender Day of Visibility (March 31).

The exhibit celebrates and makes trans people鈥檚 experiences more visible as we seek to combat their exclusion and erasure from various aspects of society, while we also remember the courage and resilience members of the trans community have shown in the face of various institutions and systems of oppression. 

Visibility & Remembrance asks artists to reflect on the experiences, representations, identities, and/or politics of being trans. The thirty-two artists selected for the exhibit reflect a diversity of perspectives and experiences from nine countries 鈥� Canada, France, Germany, India, Nigeria, Poland, Switzerland, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Their work includes two-dimensional and three-dimensional art, film, and poetry.
