    The Intersection of Queer Erasure and State Violence w/ Vato Bzhalava

    Nic is joined by Georgian political researcher Vato Bzhalava, to talk about the political uprising in Georgia and the fight for democracy.

  4. SEASON FINALE: Rural Queer Life w/ Lucy Mooring

    SEASON FINALE: Rural Queer Life w/ Lucy Mooring

    For the season finale of Fluid, Nic is wrapping up by exploring the relationship between queers and rural spaces. We're talking gay farmers to the queerness of weeds and undergrowth.  Communities outside of urban environments are often tarnished with a blanket of homophobic sentiments. While this can often be the case, the LGBTQIA+ community exists and flourishes everywhere, both visibly and in more private ways, no matter what the environment. Nic is joined by Lucy Mooring, a Warick university student, and researcher, who explores the intersections and realities of Queer women and rural spaces.

    The Importance of Queer Spaces w/ fraserfab

    This week on Fluid Nic's taking a trip down memory lane with ex-colleague and dear friend fraserfab exploring the importance of queer spaces. The Chateau was a queer bar and club in Camberwell, London, which shut in March 2020.  The Chateau became so much more than just a bar, it was, and still is, a community hub and way to explore and meet people. LGBTQIA+ people need not only places for enjoyment but time out from shame and danger. Places to grow and be free. They need investment and protection!

    The Myth of The Queer, or The Myth of The Binary? w/ Deblina Roy

    Welcome back to episode three of Fluid, where Nic is joined by psychiatric nurse Deblina Roy, who shares her knowledge of queer mythology, but also helps contextualise the human relationship to gender, to that of the wider natural world.  Deblina's scientific underpinning helps us see the woods from the trees when it comes to sexual relationships and society's relationship to queerness.
