The landscape for LGBTQ+ research is so bleak. Still fuming that UKRI decided this review was acceptable and didn't undermine EDI policy. Highlights: no relevence to LGB cuz trans inclusive, no hostile climate cuz Pride and gay marriage, no need for declonisation cuz Tate did it 24 years ago (?) 🤷‍♀️

Today’s news is so bleak. What a horribly hostile place the U.K. continues to be. Check on your trans siblings. Lives are on the line here. 🩷🤍💙

2024 was shit. 2025 is starting off with a trompe-l'oeil ‘wine goblet’ that looks like a camply decorated cake. #winning

Hello #academicsky! 👨‍🎓 I am a curator, practitioner and historian of modern and contemporary art, specialising in gender, sexuality, LGBTQ+ culture and activism. 🧵 Most of my work has been on queer/trans practices that fall between art/craft. 🐶 Come for scholarly content, stay for Evie content…
