In 2016, Travis Alabanza faced a harrowing incident on Waterloo Bridge when a burger was hurled at them. This painful experience inspired them to craft a poetic and deeply personal performance piece centered around the burger. Through their art, they explore the intricate textures and flavors of being trans, drawing from their own experiences of verbal abuse, ostracism, and even being thrown out of a Top Shop changing room. The piece also delves into the unique challenges faced by black trans individuals, shedding light on their experiences and struggles.

Travis Alabanza's performance piece is a powerful testament to the resilience and creativity of the trans community. It serves as a reminder of the importance of visibility, representation, and empathy in society. By sharing their story through art, they hope to inspire others to recognize the beauty and diversity of the trans experience and to work towards creating a more inclusive and just world for all.
