Join us on 20 November 2018 at Hares Hyenas to commemorate the International Transgender Day of Remembrance with song, poetry, and community. Guided by gender transcendent cabaret artiste Mama Alto, and accompanied by William Elm, this event will be an emotional and musical experience. Local trans and gender diverse poets will share their stories, and there will also be an opportunity for gender diverse members of the audience to say a few impromptu words.

Tissues, candles and programmes will be provided.

UPDATE: This event is confirmed to be Auslan Interpreted thanks to a generous grant by the City of Yarra.
