TRANS & CONDITIONS

Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley (b.1995, London) archives Black Trans experiences through animation, sound, performance, and video games. The Berlin and London-based artist’s work confronts the historical erasure and neglect of Black Trans lives, creating spaces and narratives that center their bodies, stories, and futures.

Trans & Conditions (2025), her major multimedia commission for CIRCA, unfolds across digital, physical, and public platforms, the project confronts the systems that govern how trans lives are recognised, controlled, and remembered — offering space for both discomfort and solidarity.

At the heart of the commission is transandconditions.com, an interactive platform guiding the public through a series of reflective prompts — including “WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO THE TRANS PEOPLE WHO ARE SCARED RIGHT NOW?” — culminating in the creation of a public letter. These letters are archived as collective expressions of care, witness, and shared voice.

Created in response to the UK Supreme Court’s recent redefinition of “woman” under the Equality Act, the work uses digital space to pose urgent questions: Who gets to speak? Who is remembered? And under what conditions are trans lives permitted to exist?

To accompany the commission, CIRCA presents a series of four limited-edition screen prints by Brathwaite-Shirley — each a powerful declaration of trans autonomy, urgency, and resistance. 20% of proceeds from each print will be donated to the Trans Legal Clinic, a community-led initiative providing vital legal support and advocacy for trans people in the UK.
