The upcoming week will display art works of transgender people. Sahodari Foundation, a group created by artist and activist Kalki Subramaniam, is organising an art fest project which will include the works of 10,000 transgenders.

The festival TRANS/HEARTS will be held from June 16 to 18 at Art Houz Ggallery on Avinashi Road. The organisers said it was aimed at inspiring them to develop their creativity in a free and liberal atmosphere.

Art workshops were already conducted by the foundation from February across South India, starting from Coimbatore. The Kochi-Muziris Biennale also became the part of the art workshop. A professional artist from the Varakootam in Pandikkad in Kerala had also contributed to the workshop.

There will be a crowdfunding site for sale of paintings and the earnings would go to the artist.
