If you thought the Trans Rage Exhibition back in July was iconic, wait till you hear what’s next. Founders Sunny and Lee, the brains and heart behind Trans Rage Art and R.A.G.E., are taking things up several notches with TRANS FEST, a four-day celebration of trans and non-binary creativity, resistance, and community. And yes, it’s going to be massive.
From 20–23 November 2025, Chats Palace in Homerton will be transformed into a buzzing queer playground packed with art, music, performance, and connection. Think: live shows, film screenings, drag, speed dating, markets, and an atmosphere fuelled by collective joy and righteous rage.
Sunny and Lee describe it best:
“It only made sense to return and expand on that energy. Trans Fest is about collective rage – RAGE that creates positive change through community and art.”
What’s going down at Trans Fest?
The line-up is stacked with brilliance. Expect:
- The return of the TRANS RAGE EXHIBITION – showcasing powerful work from celebrated trans and queer artists.
- Film screening: My Genderation – followed by a talk and Q&A with the founders.
- Drag performances.
- FLUID FLIRTS Speed Dating – curated by the babes at Sapphic Speed Dating.
- London Queer Mart – with over 25 trans and non-binary vendors bringing everything from art and fashion to zines and gifts.
With workshops, community events, and plenty of opportunities to connect, you can expect all four days to be packed with energy, love, and resistance.

About Trans Rage Art x R.A.G.E.
For the uninitiated, Trans Rage Art was born from Sunny and Lee’s drive to create radical, raw, and unapologetic creative spaces for trans and queer communities. That seed grew into R.A.G.E. – Real Art Generates Emotion – a collective dedicated to making platforms for voices that need to be heard. Their Trans Rage Exhibition earlier this year shook up the London arts scene, and Trans Fest feels like the natural (and very exciting) next step.
Get your ticket, mark the dates, and prepare to feel the RAGE.
