manifesto

No assumptions about the type, scope, relevancy, and power of trans art

No limits to the ambitions of trans artists

Trans artists deserve agency, access, and respect - on stage and off

Trans audiences deserve art that speaks from, to, and with their experiences

All audiences deserve art that innovates and speaks truth, not lazy clichés

Artistic excellence is not a rare resource to be hoarded, but a widespread gift to be nurtured and shared

Artistic work is real work, and requires real wages

Access is fundamental, not optional

Equality is indivisible - our work grows from an intersectional foundation, or it does not work at all

Art has to power to change culture - Transpose is part of that change

The ultimate goal of Transpose is to drive the cultural changes to make itself unnecessary

Until then: we do the work
