This exhibition marks the first time trans-identified artists have the opportunity to showcase their work in the same space in Iowa City. Photography, sculpture, and other mixed-media work will be on display at The UI Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Resource Center (LGBTRC), starting with the opening reception on Friday November 13th.

“Transcending the Wall” is a symbolic title that captures the idea that trans-identified artists have multiple walls to transcend – from academic ivory towers to interpersonal and structural barriers. Finding a space to explore trans identities is a daunting task that can be engaged through artistic endeavors. All of the artists in this exhibition self identify as transgendered, and are proud to showcase work for the general Iowa City community and The University of Iowa campus.

The UI LGBTRC will host the opening reception on Friday November 13th from 6:30 to 9pm. Beverages, snacks, fun, and conversations can be enjoyed at the opening. The exhibit will be on display from November 13th through December 4th. The LGBTRC is located at 125 Grand Ave Court Iowa City, IA on The University of Iowa campus. Parking is available directly behind the center.
