Meet the artists: Performers
CURLYGIRLMETHOD
Maia is a musician, writer, and poet living in Berlin. As
@curlygirltheory , she publishes transfeminist texts, poetry, memes, and unending thirst traps. With her new musical project,
@_curlygirlmethod , she will soon be releasing her debut pop single “break u too”. She will read excerpts from Curlygirlzine, a collection of her works produced, edited and co-published with TRA-TRA.
NYIO KUNT
@nyiokunt
nyio kunt (pronounced neo cunt, pronouns they/them/it) is a post-gender drag persona. Offspring of the Slavic deity of the underworld named Nyja (nia), a deity of undetermined gender and unknown powers. They are a radically post-ironic creature. An otherworldly club kid and transfaggot bringing you horror, opulence and trash dipped in Slavic futurism and garnished with dystopian metamodernism.
DESCRIBING UNITY
@describingunity
Anarchist non-binary noisy folkpunk with too many words. Powerful performances and cathartic screams against cops and the capitalist-colonial-cistem, somewhere between anarchist campfire music and (semi-)acoustic post-hardcore.
XANAXFURRY
@xanaxfurry
xanaxfurry is a product, its value is defined by its accumulation of hyper-consumerism. They represent a malevolent challenge to the system.
There are so many boundaries for such an embodiment. Among them are coloured, queer, disabled, criminal, poor and brutalised bodies. All with with the common goals of reaching the furry class, boycotting generic xanax and most importantly to shit and step on and over the bullshit we all unnecessarily have to face.
RARA
@rara.lalalalala
Andalusian travesti songwriter, producer and graphic artist. She organizes and curates TRA-TRA since 2023. Wannabe pop, wishfully punk, hyperstuff and haha-lyrics.

![WHAT IS TRA-TRA?traTra is a platform, publisher and soli concert series centering Trans, Inter and Non-Binary (TIN*) artists. *This definition includes gender dissidencies outside of these western terms. Precisely in this sense, our name originally stands for “Trans-Travesti”traTra has two main goals:- Promoting art by TIN artists- Redistributing money to trans peopleIn the past we have done this with this concert series in Fortuna, to whom we are forever grateful (thank you Camila, Thomas, Layton)This time we are going further, including a market (because there are extremely talented trans graphic artists in this city) and producing, editing and publishing a zine.WHERE WILL YOUR DONATIONS GO?After costs, one third of the donations would go to performing artists and tech person. They always have the option to donate their share if they can.*Note from Rara: Whenever I organize AND perform, I only take donations as artists, not as an organizer. So far I haven’t taken donations as organizer, but due to the amount of work, I might do so in the future.The other two thirds go to fundraising projects, with a priority given to BIPoC trans people with migrant background or multiply marginalized. The proportion depends on these and other factors such as urgency or goal completion.Market artists have a different deal: they get a table without fees and decide how much they want to donate after the event.This system might not be perfect, especially as it’s conceived by a white trans person with EU passport and it’s always open to your criticism and ideas on how to improve it.JUSTICE FOR CLEOCleo is a Black trans woman kept in prison for almost 1 year prior to her trial, currently on going. During the whole process she has been facing transmisogynoir-based ignorance, neglect and discrimination.Follow @justice.forcleo to support[continues in comments]](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6757141114314932295851_0_87c372823847a9a968e976253677600a.jpg?o=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&h=7216270223ec06dbf2b213d1fa466eb6)
