Expression Through Freedom: Trans+ Sober Realities - free art exhibition
2024-07-05 - 2024-08-19 | The Ledward Centre, 14a Jubilee Street, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 1GE, United Kingdom
Expression Through Freedom: Trans+ Sober Realities – free art exhibition
‘Expression Through Freedom : Trans+ Sober Realities’ is dedicated to exploring and celebrating the journeys of sobriety within the trans+ community. By sharing our stories, we hope to raise awareness of drug and alcohol use within our community and how it affects our lives experience.
The exhibition is presented by @transsober, a local community initiative set up to support Trans+ people with their substance use experiences. Finding a space that you feel comfortable and safe when you’re trans or non-binary is difficult enough but it is especially hard when it comes to peer support groups.
TransSober was created to fill this gap and ensure the TNBI community gain the peer support they need around drug and alcohol use.
Within this shared space you will encounter powerful narratives from trans+ individuals. Stories are a testament to resilience, courage and the transformative power of support and self care.
If you can’t make it down in person, you can support us by buying our T-shirt or heading straight to the @transsober website to read more about how to get involved.
The artists are all incredible and their work is available to see in person until August 19th at the Ledward Centre in Brighton, UK 🏳️‍⚧️🌱

Join our free & friendly Drop-in Group on Mondays from 6pm at The Queery, Brighton (temporarily).
These are volunteer-led groups facilitated by volunteers from the trans and non-binary community, all of whom have a range of lived-experience of drug and/ or alcohol use and its associated problems, but are now living drug and alcohol-free.
The purpose of the group is to provide an informal, face-to -face weekly support opportunity that attendees can build into their routine: a place where trans and non-binary people can come together in a safe, non-judgmental space. We support each other through sharing experiences of all aspects of life, whether that be directly around your drug and/or alcohol use, or simply everyday life.
This is a drop-in, so people can come and go as they please. Some people choose to share, whilst others prefer just to listen. We have a range of fidget toys and ear-defenders to assist with any sensory needs.
