Center of Unseen Trans Survival (C.U.T.S.) is an itinerant, para-institutional, artist-run center founded by Ruby Nilsson. The center is currently based in the Nordic region. 

C.U.T.S. supports its members by arranging showcases, network gatherings, online publication and distribution. It also offers anonymity to members by lending itself as an artistic “vessel” when needed. 

C.U.T.S. is aimed at sustaining and realizing the visions of trans artists, as well as projects indebted or devoted to trans survivalist strategies. It seeks to experiment with alternative systems of creative production and support amid rampant transmisogyny and trans antagonism. By utilizing various financial models, institutional bodies, and art venues available in the Nordic countries, it aims to initiate a para-institutional structure for trans artistry—on its own terms, as much as possible.

At the moment C.U.T.S. has over 20 members of established artists. It collaborates with institutions such as Warehouse9 (DK), Bastard (DK), Index (SE), and My Wild Flag (SE).
