Spotlight

Welcome to this arts and heritage podcast hosted by arts and Heritage's senior curator Andrea Hawkins. In this episode, we discuss the travelling queer People's History show, with curator and creative producer ej Scott, and the performance artist bertola bird, a spoof performance art history lecture delivered in academic drag. The travelling queer People's History show reveals and explores the lives of queer people absent or erased from dominant historical narratives. We discussed the lives of queer people in form of prisons such as Milbank penitentiary, now the site of Tate Britain, and the ways their experiences were brought to life via archival research, artistic performance, and the 2017 queer British art show
