Documentary Screening and Talk: “Voltrans”

Date: May 20, 2015 Wednesday
Time: 18.00-20.00
Place: Dolapdere Campus, Cinema Hall

The event is organized in the context of Volunteer Activities by Tarlabaşı Community Center in collaboration with İstanbul Bilgi University Center for Migration Research.

In Voltrans, both a documentary and a work of oral history, trans men tell their own stories. Voltrans, established as a solidarity platform for trans men, has a special place in LGBT movement for two reasons. First of all, compared to other LGBT people, trans men are less visible in society and secondly defining oneself as “man” in a movement struggling as default against the patriarchal system is complicated.

After the screening there will be a talk with the participation of Ilksen Gursoy from Voltrans Initiative for Trans Men. 

*The documentary will be screened with English subtitles and is free to participate.
