Black trans femmes have historically been the first to stand up for LGBTQ+ and women\u2019s rights\u2014and the targets of both anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-Black violence. At TransLash, we want to give our Black trans femme siblings their flowers every day. Artistic Legacies: Black Trans Femmes in the Arts is one way for us to do that\u2014by telling their full, glorious stories and highlighting their indelible impact on the way we understand art.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/header>\n\n\n
