About

transfeminisms is a major survey touring show that brings to light a multiplicity of urgent, pressing, and ongoing issues faced by women and queer and trans people across the globe. Unfolding over five chapters throughout 2024 at London’s Mimosa House before touring Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, transfeminisms outlines strategies of resistance through propositions of collective action, care, and radical imagination to generate a more equitable future. The exhibition explores the lineage of feminist art practices by facilitating dialogue between emerging and more established artists. The title transfeminisms is deliberately provocative. The prefix “trans” implies “across, beyond, through, on the other side of,” while the “s” in “feminisms” recognizes the innumerable definitions of feminism worldwide. Our intention is for transfeminisms to be understood within an inclusive and decolonial context—one that takes us across feminisms and encompasses various “trans” possibilities.
