Happy Transgender Awareness Week

14 NOV 2022

Film On display

This video features in a responsive display in the museum that presents the moments, stories and memes capturing the zeitgeist by going viral on the internet.

Transgender Awareness Week raises the visibility of transgender people and address issues faced by the community. Social media plays a vital role, with users sharing their stories and amplifying the voices of transgender people. This video celebrates Transgender Awareness Week through a compilation of transgender characters in recent film and television, from Raúl in Wendell & Wild to Natalie in Big Mouth. Transgender Awareness Week is held from 13 to 19 November, and leads to Transgender Day of Remembrance, which memorialises victims of transphobic violence.
