The **Socially Engaged Art Salon**, in collaboration with **Trans Pride Brighton**, is organising a significant exhibition to honour the essential contributions of trans individuals to the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ equality and inclusion.

In April 2025, the UK Supreme Court made a controversial ruling declaring that the terms “woman” and “sex” strictly refer to biological sex under the Equality Act 2010\. This anti-trans decision, which has ignited passionate protests across the UK, has led to the unwarranted exclusion of trans women from single-sex spaces and sports, drastically affecting their rights and everyday experiences.

This exhibition will run from mid-July to mid-August, featuring prominent locations in the heart of Brighton as well as an online platform.

The theme of the exhibition is **PROTEST**, and it is open to interpretation. It can be from trans people playing football to photos of demonstrations/self-portraiture to works depicting trans families and trans joy.

Organisers say: “We are seeking impactful 2D artworks—whether photography, graphic design, or painting—from trans and non-binary artists and photographers.

“We welcome submissions from all trans and non-binary artists and photographers aged 18 and older, worldwide.

“We especially urge Sussex-based artists and those from underrepresented communities, including BIPOC creators, artists with disabilities, and individuals from countries facing LGBTQ+ persecution or discrimination, to share their work.”
