SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) -A new exhibit made its debut in Savannah Friday night, highlighting transgender and non-binary artists in the community.

“The Trans Museum of the Past Present and Future” is an exhibit featuring local artists, designers, interactive exhibits, speakers, workshops and more.

From topics like transitioning, to finding community, the exhibit’s creator, Zhazhee Rabbitt says it’s a space where people in the area can come together and learn new things about both themselves and others.

“I don’t know if a lot of people give themselves the freedom to ask questions about their identity in that way without feeling shame. And so I wanted to create a space where people could explore, research, find family, everything,” Rabbitt said.

Artwork, history archives, and resources fill the space on Drayton Street, and everything there right now is subject to change.

“The space will be in transition throughout the month. We’ll have different art, different exhibits going up, lots of interaction, things that we’ll contribute to as a community” Rabbitt said.

This new exhibit is located at 2424 Drayton Street in Savannah and will be open until October 26th, with the hope for a bigger museum in the future.
