Join us in celebrating Trans Day of Visibility @ the Parkway!
The evening will begin with the TranSend Myxer co-hosted by The Pride Center of Maryland. Enjoy some pre-show snacks and connect with members of the Trans, Non-binary, and LGBTQ+ community.
After the film there will be a discussion with the director G. Chesler and members of our partner organizations.
In an airborne pandemic when separation, isolation, and self-sufficiency became the punishing norm, many trans people faced the COVID-19 era differently. G. Chesler’s new documentary feature presents eight portraits of trans, postgender, and genderqueer people sharing their experiences of cultivating, sustaining, and joining communities in this pandemic.
These trans community creators center experiences of Asian American people facing violent racism as the pandemic began in late 2019, Black Americans rising in opposition to white supremacist police-state violence in mid 2020, and the exclusion many people who are disabled feel from a society that—despite grave and massive loss—still refuses to habitually protect itself at large.
Mask wearing is encouraged at this event. KN95 masks will be available to promote community care and to help create a comfortable environment for all attendees, including those who are immunocompromised.
