What does it mean to create as a trans femme artist in a world that so often demands explanation, performance, or resilience just to exist? From 17–26 April, the Fund’s Exchanges programme—made possible through the support from the City of Amsterdam—partnered with @losanglescollective to bring together trans artists from across networks for a 10-day interdisciplinary gathering rooted in collaboration, care, and artistic exchange. As part of the public programme at Domo, Seed Awardees Lucrezia, Princesa Hardcore, and Okyanus Çağrı Çamcı came together in conversation with Los Angles to reflect on artistic autonomy, survival, visibility, tokenisation, and the realities of working within systems that continue to marginalise trans creatives. Moving between personal experience and broader structural questions, the discussion explores the pressures of visibility, the exhaustion of constantly being asked to represent or explain oneself, and the importance of reclaiming storytelling as a form of agency. Throughout the conversation, the artists return to the necessity of community — not only as support, but as a condition for sustaining creative practice and imagining different futures together. At its core, the talk is a powerful reflection on resilience, collective care, and the importance of creating spaces where trans artists can exist and work on their own terms.

We just wrapped up our first Exchanges of the year! In collaboration with trans-femme led collective Los Angles, we brought together three Seed Awardees from the Fund’s global network—@princesahardcore , @lucr3z1a_ , & @okyanuscagricamci —and three artists from the collective’s local network—@aron.saxe ,@rrrrrrri7a , & @ada_patterson —for a 10-day programme of exchange, collaboration, and shared reflection. The programme kicked off with studio days at @productiehuis.nowhere , where the three artist pairs worked alongside one another across disciplines and mediums, seeing where their practices intersect and spark new collaborative works that were shown at the end of the programme’s public event. As part of the Exchange, the visiting artists also spent time immersing themselves in Amsterdam’s art scene first-hand. They were welcomed at @burostedelijk and @rijksakademie for guided tours where they could meet with the institutions’ curators and teams, during which conversations were sparked about sustainable artistic infrastructures and continued international collaboration. The week also created moments for public exchange. On 22 April, the programme featured a panel talk at @domo.culture , where the participating artists and Los Angles’ founders reflected on the marginalisation of trans communities, the politics of hypervisibility, and how to better support trans creatives in today’s contemporary moment. The Exchange culminated in a public art showcase at @studio.wieman , where the three artist pairs shared their collaborative studio work alongside local peers through visual art, poetry readings, performance, fashion, and a celebratory party featuring @jasonvgalen , @princess.vineyard , and @youngw0man .

In the next edition of “30 Years, 30 Stories,” the series highlighting inspiring voices from our global community of changemakers, we are republishing the impact story of Lucrezia, our 2023 SEED Awardee.   Based in Georgia, Lucrezia is a drag performer, visual artist, and queer activist who will participate in our upcoming Exchange programme with @losanglescollective —an Amsterdam-based, transfemme-run collective focused on showcasing and nurturing trans talent.   She works across performance, music, and photography as an intuitive and deeply personal way to express different parts of her queer identity. Together, these forms create a world where binaries collapse, where she reclaims her body, blending intimacy, ancestry, and queer myth-making beyond conventional boundaries.   “Art is political even when it doesn’t speak in slogans. The body on stage, a queer gesture, a soft gaze captured in a photograph—all of it resists erasure. In a system built on silence and shame, to tell a different story, to exist visibly and vulnerably, is a political act.”   The Award gave her the time, space, and courage to imagine more. The support became like wings, allowing her to experiment, push beyond boundaries, express more, and continue creating. In a context where queer art is rarely institutionally supported and often exists underground, working across disciplines requires access to materials, tools, and resources that are frequently out of reach for queer artists in Georgia.   In the interview, Lucrezia reflects on the fragile hope of creating a future where queer lives are seen, remembered, and celebrated. For her, art is both a testament to resilience and a conduit for voice, strength, and hope.   Read Lucrezia’s full story via the link in our bio! All images courtesy of @lucr3z1a_
