Pls follow this incredible artist whose work moves us to tears and recognition of the violence and hostility that we all suffer from and the hope that awaits us @crazinist_artist .

Join from Black Trans Project on Saturday 22nd October as we celebrate and support our dear friend and Trans icon Ms Winn. @nenehcherryofficial @lyallhakaraia Having recently been evicted from her home, we're asking that Camden Council approaches Ms Winn's case with sensitivity and knowledge. A Black trans women should not be isolated away from the community and safe environment that she has built around her. By holding this event we hope to highlight the issues, not only with the rental system, but also the blanket approach that Camden Council has taken to one of its constituents that doesn't reflect its own public diversity policies. Winn is not a victim, we celebrate her persistence and defiance in the face of adversity. There'll be talks, times to dance and a bar throughout the night! The profit from the ticket sales will go to support Winn navigate the uprooted nature of being evicted. @winn_0007 @vfdalston

We love this bio from Angel !!! Angel-Ho is a Musician & Creative Director from South Africa Cape Town. Angel places contemporary social issues in performance, drag, and a digital space whereby they deconstruct the powers of oppression. In other words, diving into the fantasy of reality of being a feminine gender non-conforming queer African body with the capacity to critique the history we create as a society.
