About Gender Unbound Programming

Through festivals, art markets, live streams, and more, Gender Unbound organizes events centered around trans and intersex artists across disciplines with the intention of creating affirming and enriching spaces for trans and intersex communities and connecting attendees to resources vital to trans and intersex people and their allies. Created by and for trans and intersex community members, the purpose of Gender Unbound is to center and amplify our voices as the agents of our own stories. By illustrating our own visions, speaking in our own words, and dancing to our own music, we can break through stereotypes and show off the diversity of our best, most talented selves.
