Tartopia Poetry show

We are a queer and trans-led platform creating space for underrepresented voices through print magazines, digital showcases, and vibrant real-world events celebrating LGBTQIA+ communities, artists of colour, and creative expression.

We make space for stories that don’t always get heard. As a queer and trans-led platform, we prioritize underrepresented voices—especially LGBTQIA+ voices and voices of colour—while welcoming work from everyone. Our work spans print, digital, and physical spaces.

In print, we publish a biannual magazine and a series of mini-journals, including our ongoing ‘Trans Tongues’ collection. Online, we curate seasonal showcases that highlight work from emerging and established creatives, sharing it with our community via our website and Instagram.

In the real world, we create space through events that blend art, performance, and connection—from drag nights, spoken word, and live music to art exhibitions and creative workshops. Whether the story is told through words, images, or sound, we make room for it. Always.

At our core, we’re about community, creativity, and challenging the norms of who gets to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
