More info on our Trans Survival Skillshare Series:

Trans Survival Skillshare is an event series focused on gaining essential life skills in an all-queer, supportive space. Many of us have faced barriers to accessing information on things like car maintenance or makeup, and DIY Museum is here to solve that problem! Every trans person deserves to learn whatever skills they want to cultivate for themselves, and we are here to help provide a nurturing environment for that to happen.

This series will run August - November, featuring over 6 workshops covering different skills to help trans individuals survive and thrive. This month, we are kicking off the series with a Queer Self Defense Workshop! Workshops will be announced monthly so keep your eyes peeled for more exciting events in this series next month.

This program is made possible by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, who kindly granted us $1,000 to make this series into a reality. We are using this grant to pay trans facilitators, gather supplies for the workshops, and subsidize workshop tickets for attendees.

All workshops in this series will be sliding scale, with NOTAFLOF tickets available via our email [email protected]
