Tributes have been made across social media following the sudden death of trans artist, activist and musician Sophie Gwen Williams.

 

Williams had previously been Chair of The 343, a Belfast-based queer arts centre and co-founded 343 Radio, which became the first queer radio station in Ireland.

 

She also co-founded We Exist, an organisation created to offer emergency support services to transgender and gender non-conforming individuals in the UK, whilst providing a platform for transgender artists to showcase their work.

 

Williams was a classically trained musician and had performed in galleries and arts spaces across the UK and Ireland.
