We are who we are, and you can be part of making a world where we feel proud, welcome and safe.
– Escape Velocity
Escape Velocity is an ongoing creative project of films and live performance works made by and with young trans and gender non-conforming people in Melbourne in 2019 and 2020.
Created through a partnership between St Martins and Minus18, Escape Velocity is an artistic response to some of the anxieties faced by young people in public space that we’d like to share with you.
