Trans Voices at A Beautiful Mess

Celebrate TransJoy through music, art, storytelling and community.

Join TransAmsterdam and A Beautiful Mess for TransVoices @ WorldPride Amsterdam 2026—an inspiring international community event celebrating trans and non-binary people through live performances, spoken word, art, meaningful conversations and connection.

TransAmsterdam is a community-led organisation that empowers trans and non-binary people through art, culture, education and community building. For more than a decade, we have created safe and inclusive spaces where trans voices can be seen, heard and celebrated.

A Beautiful Mess is a social enterprise run together with newcomers and refugees. Through food, culture and connection, it creates a welcoming place where people from different backgrounds can meet, learn from one another and build community.

Together, we believe that art, culture and storytelling bring people together. TransVoices @ WorldPride Amsterdam 2026 celebrates diversity, belonging and the power of communities to create a more inclusive world.

Experience an evening where creativity, visibility and community come together in a welcoming and inclusive space. Meet trans artists, community leaders, allies and visitors from around the world while celebrating diversity, talent and TransJoy during one of the highlights of WorldPride Amsterdam 2026.

Enjoy inspiring performances, discover new talent during our Open Mic – TransJoy: 5 Minutes of Fame, receive a personal handwritten compliment from the Compliment Makers, experience beautiful henna art, and share a delicious community meal together.

This event is open to everyone—whether you are part of the trans community, an ally, or simply interested in celebrating diversity, creativity and inclusion. Whether you'd like to perform, connect with others, or simply enjoy an unforgettable evening, you are warmly welcome.
