Help Us Fight Back with Queer Creativity

In response to the Supreme Court’s devastating anti-trans ruling, a group of us—artists, activists and performers—are creating a rapid-response piece of queer theatre. Inspired by the radical gay troupes of the 70s, we're coming together to amplify trans voices at a moment when they’re under attack.

SUPPORT TRANS VOICES

The performance will feature five trans writer-performers, each speaking from their own lived experiences and using existing texts to create a collaboratively conceived performance.

Conceived by the Brixton Pansies and with guidance from playwright Louis Rembges and artist Ian Giles, we’ll shape a powerful, collage-style piece to be presented at Peckham 24—a festival happening at the end of May.

We’ve secured our performance and rehearsal space through the generous support artist of Becky Warnock and have raised some initial private donations. But we need your help to make sure each artist receives a fair contribution for their time and travel.

This is not just a performance—it’s a form of resistance, storytelling, and survival.

This project matters deeply to us as queer artists—because visibility, solidarity, and joy are forms of protest.

FUND TRANS AND QUEER VOICES

Every donation helps us uplift trans voices by paying all contributors a fee to make urgent art in urgent times.

Thank you for supporting queer creativity and resilience.
