Making Black Trans Femmes Visible in Art: BTFA’s Mission

BTFA is a much-needed collective that helped create a black trans artistic community, uplifting and bringing together artists who would otherwise feel alone. Jordyn says that through the collective she wants to celebrate trans joy and talent, instead of focusing on the violence and trauma that is the main narrative around trans folks. The collective provides support to organize and implement projects led by Black trans femmes.

BTFA is currently working on creating a directory of Black trans femme artists from all around the world to help them connect and work together.
