Welcome to TransAmsterdam

​

On behalf of TransAmsterdam, I warmly welcome you to our community.

​

TransAmsterdam is a volunteer organization run by and for trans and non-binary people in Amsterdam. Our mission is to create a space for authentic self-expression, talent development, and community building through art, culture, and connection.

​

Through art, we express who we are—sharing our stories, creativity, and creating space for talent within our community and beyond.

​

We organize events, workshops, and gatherings through our Trans Art School, providing platforms for trans artists to showcase their creativity. Our events include Café InClusion with an Open Mic, where you can share stories, poems, songs, or other creative works.

​

If you want to get involved, join us at Café InClusion, attend our events, or become a volunteer. We would love to hear from you.

​

I hope to meet you in person someday. You are always welcome!

Founder and Chair

About TransAmsterdam

​

TransAmsterdam is dedicated to increasing the visibility and representation of trans and non-binary people in Amsterdam. We focus on art, culture, and lifestyle initiatives to achieve this goal.

​

Are you an artist who wants to share or develop your talents? Or would you like to meet others within and around the trans community? Then TransAmsterdam is the place for you.

​

Through art and culture, we challenge stereotypes and present trans and non-binary people as multifaceted individuals. Our work fosters understanding and connection between our community and society, empowering and increasing visibility both locally and beyond.

​

To highlight trans creativity, we collaborate with a wide range of artists—photographers, actors, poets, musicians, writers, filmmakers, and visual artists. We also partner with national and international art and cultural organizations.

​

In 2019, we founded the Trans Art School, where trans and non-binary people can take part in workshops, creative projects, and lifestyle-oriented programs.
