Started in Austin, TX in 2023 by Jas Mania and The Trans Era, Banned Bodies is now expanding outside of Texas for the first time and coming to Northwest Arkansas through the support of the Creative Exchange Fund!
Banned Bodies is a punk mutual aid party that brings together local drag with local music to raise money for a local cause. Banned Bodies features a line-up that prioritizes genderqueer performers, showcasing trans and non-binary artistry.
We aim to unite people who face persecution based on their bodily status or identity, including trans people, immigrants, those seeking healthcare, and other communities whose bodily autonomy and rights are under attack. We believe that until everyone is free, no one is free, and that our struggles are interwoven.
This Banned Bodies, all proceeds will be donated to Alliance for Immigrant Respect & Education (AIRE), a grassroots immigrant rights org dedicated to building support for immigrants in NWA through education, advocacy, and language justice.
