Queer Arts Featured is proud to present ‘No One Way: Transmasc Art as Activism in the Bay Area,’ a group exhibition bringing together photography and paintings that honor transmen and transmasculine non-binary artists and activists whose lives and work have helped shape one of the world’s most vibrant and resilient 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.
ALSO BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE SPECIAL EVENT AT QUEER ARTS FEATURED ON THURSDAY. MAY 28, 2026: a special screening of Sean Dorsey Dance’s 2009 work “Lou” with Q&A/talkback with creator/choreographer Sean Dorsey.
On view from April 3 through May 31, 2026, the exhibition is curated by Queer Arts Featured and made possible through partnership with the Castro LGBTQ Cultural District. An oil painting portrait of Sean Dorsey is on view – part of 4 portraits painted by Éamon McGivern. Paintings, photographs and self-portraits by Catherine Opie, Marcel Pardo Ariza, and Luka Amaru Fernández are also featured in this powerful exhibition, on view until May 31.
No One Way takes its name from a truth that trans people have always known and lived: there is no single story, no prescribed path, no one way to inhabit a body, a community, or a life. Trans people have existed across every culture and every era of human history, and the transmasculine community of the Bay Area is no exception — they have been here building, creating, and sustaining this place for generations. This exhibition introduces visitors to four artists who celebrate themselves and their community, on their own terms.
Together, their works affirm that visibility is not merely survival — it is art, expressed boldly, tenderly, and defiantly in a culture that attacks and seeks to deny their existence. “This exhibition is in reverence of the transmasc people of the Bay Area. These artists —celebrated and emerging alike — remind us that transmasculine lives have always been woven into the fabric of this place. No One Way is about making that visible, making it felt, and celebrating those who have carved the path and continue the work. This show declares there is no one answer when it comes to inhabiting a body or championing a community, and there never has been.”
