Dear Annie - Music & Spoken Word
Dear Annie is a queer & trans multi-instrumentalist, creating genre-melting bangers that meld found-sound with soaring synths and trippy kicks. Fusing analogue recording through digital production, she weaves together sonic tapestries that are simultaneously familiar and filled with mystery; haunting, thumping and swirling. Dear Annie's music is a love letter to her trans-ness, and this love is rich and messy.

Tuba Döner - Comedy
Navigating life as a Turkish woman in the UK, I turn sharp wit into laughs (and kebab jokes). Bisexual, bold, and not afraid to make fun of men or missed dreams. Performing comedy in Turkish and English, tackling women’s issues with humor that hits hard but stays relatable. When I’m not on stage, you’ll find me behind the camera or on the dance floor at a rave. Let’s keep it real and funny.
t’ART is a queer and trans-led arts and lit collective, that creates space (on the page and in real life) for marginalised voices..
