Black Trans Femmes in the Arts
Our Mission
Our mission is to create spaces for the production and preservation of Black trans art and culture by building community with Black trans femme artists and providing them with the resources and support necessary to thrive.
We envision a world where Black trans femmes can create without limitations.
Public Programs
Through public programming, BTFA connects Black trans femme artists with each other and with the larger art community. We organize events that exclusively cater to Black trans femme artists and curate art showcases, that are open to a larger public audience.
We are mobilizing our resources to offer paths of hope, resistance and imagination.
Productions
BTFA executive produces projects led by New York City-based Black trans femme artists and works with those artists on distribution and community engagement around their productions.
We are organizing and building as a community, so that violence and trauma are no longer our only paths to recognition.
Get Involved
All Black trans femme artists are invited! If you are based in New York City, sign up to be notified when we are having our next meetup or event.
