stand with us
This political climate reminds us just how critical for all of us to stand firm in our commitment to protecting and uplifting trans and intersex communities—especially here in the South, and in Texas, where political rhetoric often targets our very existence.
Gender Unbound remains resilient and committed to building life-affirming spaces and staying present for those who need us most. Our work is not just about surviving but about creating a world in which we can thrive–where trans and intersex art is abundant, and connection and resources flow freely between all of us. But, we can’t do it alone.
We have so many vibrant dreams of trans and intersex art and community spaces waiting to happen next year. Join us in committing deeply now more than ever to making this work possible.
Empowering
Trans & Intersex
Artists since 2016
From visual art galleries, to music showcases, to poetry headliners, to installation art, to film nights, to drag performances, to comedy showcases, to art markets and picnics, to community choirs—we’ve always been light, adaptive, and imaginative!
We started as an art festival, grew to accommodate international talent, and evolved into a resilient community organization.
Affirming Art Events
Our events center the resilience and pride of trans and intersex artists. Not only do we showcase the brilliant creativity of local artists, but we also want our events to hold space for connecting, sharing, and leisure between community members themselves
By and For Community
Gender Unbound's leadership, organizers, and featured artists are all trans and intersex creatives. We pride ourselves in remaining deeply rooted in an ever-expanding community of artists and continuing to be responsive to what trans and intersex artists in Central Texas want and need.
Uplifting Artists
Pay artists while they're still alive! Gender Unbound works to create opportunities for trans and intersex artists to make money, get paid, extend their reach, hone their craft, and further their voice.
Awareness & Education
Through art, Gender Unbound invites public access to trans and intersex visibility through a nuanced, personal, and emotional lens. Allies, friends, and families of trans and intersex people are welcome at our public events to find opportunities to support and learn more about our communities and artists.
