The festival honors the trans experience through film, art, beauty and cultural achievements.
The first annual TransNation Festival is slated for October 20 through October 22 in Los Angeles. The three day celebration of transgender artistic and cultural achievements was conceived by St. John’s Well Child and Family Center. The center is credited with creating one of the largest transgender health programs in the United States.
TransNation Festival will include a film festival, benefit art exhibition and a beauty pageant.
A PSA about the festival recorded by Kelly Osbourne highlights the societal barriers still faced by the trans community. The video also highlights the TransNation Festival and invites everyone to get involved and help make this festival a success.
