September 7th

In this first session, you’ll explore your personal story. You will express this story using paint on canvas—or, if you prefer, charcoal or another material of your choice.

Workshop 1: Trans Identity – Where do you come from, who are you now?

September 21st

What is your dream, who do you want to be, and what path leads you there?
Is your path bumpy or smooth? What does it mean to fully pursue your own happiness?

Workshop 2: The Road to My Happy Self 

October 5th

What do you feel when you say that? How proud are you? And what might help you feel even prouder?

Workshop 3: TransProud – I am proud to be trans

October 19th

Always, or only sometimes? When do you want to be visible, and when would you rather not?

Workshop 4: Coming Out – Is the world allowed to know?

November 2nd

Can we connect our journey with that of others? What would that look like in an artwork? Can individual pieces still form a collective whole—or shall we create a group artwork together? In life, we often have to adapt to others. What happens to a collective artwork if we don’t? Can clashes and friction also spark creativity?

Workshop 5: Trans Together I

November 16th

We continue working on the group piece and finish individual works.
What would you still like to change? Are you satisfied with what you’ve created? What has this brought to you, both artistically and personally?

Workshop 6: Trans Together II
