Register for the event

Please join us for a panel reflecting on the myriad forms of trans resistance today, organized in conjunction with the exhibition Dueñas de la Noche: Trans Lives and Dreams in 1980s Caracas. This event will feature presentations by Amarilla, Chiquitita, and Fran Tirado, as well as a conversation moderated by curator Lucas Ondak. It will be followed by a reception and an opportunity to experience the exhibition at ISLAA. 

Dueñas de la Noche showcases the legendary, rarely seen documentary Trans (1982) , which highlights a group of Venezuelan trans women in Caracas as they share their aspirations and demonstrate their resilience against the harsh backdrop of the city. Connecting the stories featured in the exhibition with contemporary visions of trans futures, this panel will bring together leaders of organizations and projects that center trans communities to discuss their work and the current state of trans liberation today. 

The event will take place at ISLAA, located at 142 Franklin Street in Tribeca. Seating is limited, and advance registration is encouraged. The program will be held in English, and a recording will be made available online following the event.
