Blog to document my AHRC-funded PhD in Museum Studies. My research challenges the lack of visibility of queer identities in historic houses (specifically National Trust houses). I also blog about more general museums and heritage issues as well as queer, feminist and LGBT matters.

Trans art
Just thought I'd share this short video that appeared on the Gender Anarchy facebook group.
It's called Transactivations and features two artists, Heather Cassils and Zackary Drucker who use their bodies as artwork, in responses to gaps in art history and silences in conversations around gender identity.
I particularly like what Heather says: "there is a trans politic, but it's also about creating a visual language that I feel is not out there. So I wish to take up a space that allows for indeterminacy, for slipperiness..."
