Transmuted Frames

Transmuted Frames is an intimate evening of short films and community dialogue centering QTBIPOC storytellers.

This is a curated screening featuring 4 filmmakers, followed by a live conversation with the artists and audience. The night is designed as a shared space to witness film, reflect together, and build connection beyond the screen.

The selected works will explore themes of:

• Healing
• Cultural identity
• Coming of age
• Building new worlds

We are creating an intimate, community-centered environment where film becomes a portal for conversation, reflection, and relational expansion.

Audience members are invited to stay after the screening for a facilitated discussion with the filmmakers.

The Underground Rainbow Experiment (URE) is an international affinity network for Black Trans and Gender Non-Conforming (BTGNC) artists, dedicated to building sustainable artist ecosystems through professional development, community events, and the creation of interdependent live-work artist spaces.

The Underground Rainbow Experiment exists to support Black trans and gender nonconforming people in generating, studying, and transforming their inner light through intentional self-creation, creative practice, and embodied exploration. Rooted in the understanding that we all have the ability to define and (re)shape ourselves at will; we cultivate the ability to align with our truth, move beyond imposed identities and binaries, and create new iterations of ourselves. We believe that we create ourselves, we create our belonging, and we create our freedom. Through this work, we honor Black Trans and Gender Nonconforming ways of being as vital to collective evolution, using lived experience as a tool to reimagine identity, community, and the world.
