it has been a genuine privilege to guide and mentor this cohort of trans and gender diverse creatives through trans/form.watching them perform the work they built over the course of the workshop left me floored. what they made in that time was extraordinary.this is the proof. trans and gender diverse people are tenaciously creative and deeply talented when given the right support and the room to make.i learned so much from this group. how different we are. how similar we are. how genuinely funny we are.the world can feel like it’s against us right now. but together we thrive, and we do it laughing.thank you to Trans Gender Victoria for backing the very first trans/form series. something tells me it won’t be the last.Daxiedelivered in partnership with Tayo Tayo Collective and Trans Gender Victoria by @tayotayocollective
