HOLY OF HOLIES 2023

The Holy of Holies Art Show was birthed out of a vision to create a divine space featuring solely trans, intersex & non-binary artists.

Historically, in many cultures, gender-diverse individuals have been associated with the divine. Our divinity does not come from an outward source; it comes from within and from our own experiences. Whether or not we consider ourselves spiritual or religious, everything we do is divine. This show will give viewers an opportunity to see what it means to be trans, intersex and non-binary, surviving and thriving in The Bible Belt. Many of us have had traumatic experiences with organized religion; this show is meant to take back the spiritual and physical space that history has tried to erase from us. As divine beings, this show is an offering to our trans and non-binary ancestors. May we live, thrive and honor them.

The HOH 2023 show was on my 34th birthday during pride month. It was the hottest ever and I was heavy on my period and taking care of Calvin and managing the art show. It was a lot to juggle. Nonetheless, the event was a hit. It was just the right size and we had more out of state artist than ever.

More to come.
