HOLY OF HOLIES 2022

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.

In 2022, We had more community support than ever. It really was a beautiful sight to see and be apart of. We received word from the Houston PD the day before the art show that there would be protestors due to our version of Mother Mary and Baby Jesus depicted on the posters. HPD sent a special task force and we were able to secure in-house security as well as S.C.A.O. to help us during the chants and songs.

The following people helped create and build this space & to them I thank and love: Saskia, Alex, 1810 Ojeman Fam, Calvin, Mo, Thunder, Adri P., Kevin, Texas Advocates for Justice, The Fahlhaus, Fight Club, Oliver, DJ NotThoseCheeks, Evonna, Nicole Sergent Photography, Abrigal, Lori, Em, Pleiades, Susa, Chan, Mel, Hyacinth, Julian Solis, Jamie, Steph, J Devan, Koomah, Tammy and Jesus.
