Audiences might not feel they know much about trans rights or lives - and that's fine.
People may have seen the headlines, possibly heard the debate and controversy, or read some devastating stories about transphobia. This is an opportunity to find out more and discover what trans visibility means in society today and throughout the world. This event is open to everyone. Friday 2nd April, 6.30pm - 8pm - For further information and to book in advance: www.studio3arts.org.uk
