Trans people have always existed, yet in recent years, their identities have become politicised, exoticised, and—far too often—weaponised in cultural debates. 

Law & Life: Transgender Stories hands the mic and spotlight back to trans voices, with a night of storytelling and personal performance.

Presented by the Inner City Legal Centre, the people who brought you last year’s sold-out Sex Work: A Legal and Social History, this powerful event brings together five trans storytellers and one lifelong ally to share their lived experiences—navigating gender, identity, legality and survival. 

For a lot of trans people, the core of survival in a system stacked against them is creativity—so expect pageantry, song and outside-the-box-and-binary expression. Beyond the camp and colour though, this evening lays bare an important and necessary conversation. We must face up to the discrimination embedded in our culture and law, its human impact and what can be done to create a better, more inclusive world.

Auslan-Interpreted Performance:

  • Saturday 7 June, 7:30pm
