Through the skills of transgendered artists like filmmaker Gwen Haworth, who will be in attendance for the Sunday night “Screening the T” presentation of her film She’s a Boy I Knew, writer and activist Eli Clare, who will be in Edmonton for the Transgender Day or Remembrance & Vigil and a lecture at the University of Alberta, and Edmonton’s own Josie Cross, Edmontonians will have a chance to gain a greater understanding of issues facing the transgender community as well as an opportunity to experience the wealth of culture that comes from the transgender community.
Edmonton has a sizable transgender community and therefore is perfectly poised to be the centre of artistic and cultural sharing and discourse.
In the last decade, the realities of the transgender experience have come to the forefront of the queer community as well as mainstream culture. Through the various art and cultural opportunities as part of Exposure 2008 Edmontonians will be afforded a greater understanding, appreciation, and awareness of transgender issues.

Transgender Day of Remembrance
22.11.2008, Transgender Day of Remembrance, Demo Start 14Uhr, U-Bahnhof Kochstrasse
Dies ist keine Fun-Parade! Dieser Tag ist zum einen ein Gedenktag an die Opfer trans*phober Gewaltverbrechen und Morde und zum anderen ein Ort an dem wir gemeinsam verstorbener trans*gender und ihrer Arbeit -gegen das Vergessen einer kampfreichen Geschichte- gedenken und feiern wollen.
Gleichzeitig ist es uns wichtig, etwas politisch gegen die Repression und Diskriminierung von trans*gendern und queeren Lebensweisen zu erreichen.
