Trans Aid Cymru Stickers, Banner, Prints, Pamphlets and Polaroids
MOT/2024/NDOTC/CARD/023
Tag Tag 1 - one of my favourite badges the Trans Aid Cymru volunteers designed for us to sell at Pride events to fundraise! "veteran of the culture war" sums up so much of how we feel regarding the anti-trans media storms. Tag 2 - the march chants from the 2023 Trans Pride Cardiff march. Hilariously, these were meant to be passed out amongst the crowd but the march stewards didn't manage to pass that message onto the march leaders, so we still have pristine printouts! Tag 3 - the demands from 2022 Trans Pride Cardiff. we wanted these to be easilt shareable on social media, and distributed via a press release to media organisations in september 2022. we are a radical pride, and are unapologetic with our demands. TPC! Tag 4 - a collection of 5 Trans Aid Cymru stickers, in English + Welsh with phrases like "Trans Rights" "Support Trans Kids" "Trans Aid Cymru" Tag 5 - a zibe - Trabsform The Conversation a Welsh/English printed zine designed by trans artists, creatives and actors as part of the "Humanequin" project in 2018/19. I designed the project as an educational resource to assist with sharing the play, and was shared with local schools who come to see the show at the WMC. Tag 6 - a 2nd-edition Trans Aid Cymru leaflet detailing our services, support and resources. Its super colourful and we send these all over Wales too! Tag 7 - our recognisable "Trans in Wales!" You're not alone" QR sticker. These can be found around Wales on many a lamppost offering hope and solidarity in each county! The QR leads you to Trans Aid Cymru's collated resources around surviving the cost of living and trans issues.
