TRANZA XIII - Part 1

Created in 2009 as a space to produce and curate queer performance art nights at various contended sites throughout LA, Tranza showcases various artists, performances, and disruptions/reclamations of historically and traditionally queer/immigrant/trans spaces struggling to survive gentrification, displacement, and rampant violence. 
 
Creator and producer Byron collaborates and engages in discourse with LA-based artists whose work centers, raises consciousness, and stems from the artistry and work of various comunidades en lucha, through a multi-issue lens.

Tranza has been installed at venues including Redz/Chuparosa, Little Joy, Human Resources, The Jalisco Inn #2, The TransLatin@ Coalition’s Center for Violence Prevention and Transgender Wellness, Silver Lake Lounge, and various traditional queer sites and spaces within the neighborhoods of Boyle Heights, MacArthur Park, Echo Park, Silver Lake, West Adams, Koreatown, Skid Row, East Hollywood, Chinatown, and Greater Los Angeles.

Tranza’s 13th-anniversary installation will be presented as part of the
Festival de Barriletes exhibit at Goethe-Institut in MacArthur Park.
  

Admission is open to the public. (Donations accepted at the door).
Please support performers directly.
