Weaving Us Together | TransPride 2025

May 17, 2025 | The Martin Luther King, Jr. Library, Washington, DC

Textile artist and sculptor Roxana Geffen (she/her) brings a collaborative community art project to Trans Pride, inviting attendees to express their identities through color and story. As the proud mother of three kids—one gay, one trans—Roxana created this project to honor the beauty, strength, and diversity of the trans community. Visitors can choose yarns that speak to their identity, write about their choices on a Yarn Card, and watch as their contributions are woven into a collective tapestry on her floor loom. You can even create your own small weaving to be added to the final piece, blending individual expression into a vibrant celebration of who we are—together.

The final piece incorporates all the yarn choices, yarn cards and mini-weavings made by participants at the Weaving Together event. All these elements are brought together on a hand-pieced backdrop and hung on custom ashwood hanging rod.
