Trans Youth Quilt Unveiling and Reception
Join us for an evening of Trans youth community and acceptance
The Arlington Transgender Youth Quilt project gives non-binary and trans youth a safe and joyful way of being seen and builds community and awareness in the broader community through a collaborative creation process. Quilt squares were created anonymously by local trans and non-binary youth and allies, responding to the prompt "What Freedom to Be Means to Me." The completed quilt consists of almost 90 squares on a 10 foot by 7 foot quilt, hand-assembled by allies and community members.
Come and witness the unveiling of the completed quilt for the first time. We'll screen a short video documenting the crafting process and hear from local leaders on their work to support and protect trans youth here in Arlington County.
Light refreshments to be served.
REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED. All Ages.
