Yungblud Provides the Soundtrack for a New Trans-Focused Photo Exhibition in London

Outernet London will spotlight the lives of transgender people from across the U.K. with a large-scale photography installation titled “Trans Is Human,” which will occupy the venue’s 360-degree screens beginning November 17, 2025. The free presentation will include a soundtrack featuring Yungblud’s song “Hello, Heaven, Hello” from his U.K. chart‑topping album, Idols.

Conceived by trans-rights campaigners Jake and Hannah Graf, MBE, the project pairs Mariano Vivanco’s portraits of 13 trans individuals with first-person narratives that address identity, endurance and lived experience.

The lineup of subjects includes Amanda, a refugee who became the first Miss Trans Global Uganda; Sarah, who rebuilt her life after losing her sight and now advocates for LGBTQ+ people with disabilities while running marathons; and Leo, a public speaker and life coach who lives with dyskinetic cerebral palsy.

Jake and Hannah Graf explained that the exhibition was born out of years of misinformation and public dehumanization of the U.K.’s trans community. They said the commission offered an opportunity to celebrate the dignity and humanity of the people featured and that, amid ongoing threats to basic rights, amplifying these stories is more urgent than ever. They also expressed gratitude to Outernet and to Yungblud for helping bring the campaign to a wider audience.

Yungblud added that he was honored his track would accompany the work, noting that the exhibition’s focus on authenticity and self-expression aligns with his artistic values and that he was pleased to play a part in elevating these stories.

Outernet London opened in late 2022 and, in 2023, was named the capital’s most‑visited attraction by the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions after drawing roughly 6.25 million visitors before its first anniversary. Located near Tottenham Court Road station, the site features a four‑storey, wraparound screen and hosts two live music spaces: The Lower Third and HERE.

Scott Neal, Outernet’s Creative Director for Culture and Lifestyle, said the venue remains committed to equality, fairness and public safety. Citing a recent YouGov poll that found a large proportion of trans people in Britain feel unsafe in public, he said “Trans Is Human” seeks to reframe public perception by foregrounding the human stories behind gender identity.

The exhibition will be free to view on Outernet’s screens. For more information on the venue, visit the Outernet news page.
