Thursday 9 October from 7pm – 2am
Dalston Superstore
WHY IT MATTERS was a love letter to community, artists and queerness. We were raising funds for Trans Kids Deserve Better as well as the ongoing support, celebration and platforming of trans and queer artists, and the communities that surround them. We raised £1,000 for Trans Kids Deserve Better, and £500 for our continuing support of young trans artists.
WHY IT MATTERS was run by Boundless Theatre. We back young people to create, connect and lead. We’re interested in how young people can shape the future of the arts and artistry; we wanted to throw all of that energy into a warm, inviting, celebratory, creative party for all of you.
Here’s what went down:
