T4T: A GROUP ART SHOW

THE FACTORY PRESENTS: t4t— a group art show curated by @alpastries opening Thursday, June, 12th from 6-10pm.

t4t— short for “trans for trans”— refers to relationships between trans people. The term originated as a way for trans people to find and connect with one another online for dating purposes. Today, t4t has grown into something broader. It signifies solidarity between trans people— a mantra of trans-centered love, friendship, community, and care.

t4t is an emotional safety net.
It’s where we feel truly seen in a world that so often wishes to erase us.
It’s trans people loving one another, despite the hate so frequently directed our way.
It’s trans people centering each other, in contrast to the marginalization we face.
t4t is an amplification of pure trans joy— a celebration of trans community, where we are stronger together.

t4t is trans people giving each other our roses.

t4t is a group art show made by and for our community, and is open to everyone who arrives with care, curiosity, and respect. It’s open to all who support and celebrate trans lives— and closed to anything less.

t4t is curated by Al Pastries and features artwork by Amanda James Parker, Erin Hurley, Gemini Sister, Glitter, June September, Karl Cassel, Kirby Stolzoff, Margo, María Dolores A.
