  1. The little known trans history I discovered in the UK's most famous museums

    15 JUL

    The little known trans history I discovered in the UK's most famous museums

    Rehangs at art museums are rare. The last one at Tate Britain was in 2012. Whilst galleries will make small changes to their on-display collections, these are small, only happen every few months and usually happen for specific reasons (such as an item going on loan to another gallery). But each rehang gives an art gallery to make a statement on what its mission as an institution is. A statement that visitors will likely see for ten or more years. So it's a big deal that Tate Britain and the National Gallery both increased the amount of LGBTQIA+ representation in their recent rehangs. This week's producer, Mills Dyer explores some key Trans+ history they reveal, with guests: Abi Penton – A Tate tour guide and expert on GluckCas Bradbeer - A queer historian and V&A Tour guideProf Matt Cook – Professor of Queer History at Oxford University View the art discussed in today's show: Flora’s Cloak c.1923, GluckChevalier d'Eon by Thomas Stewart, after Jean-Laurent MosnierPrints of Chevalier d’Eon at the National Portrait Gallery Read more stories from Trans+ History Week: https://www.wearequeeraf.com/transhistoryweek/Here is the article we recommended: https://www.wearequeeraf.com/the-jewish-transgender-couple-who-fell-in-love-and-escaped-the-nazis/Watch the Transcending Words poetry night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmbn900ekPM Plus, be sure to sign up for our newsletter to understand the LGBTQIA+ news every Saturday: https://www.wearequeeraf.com/subscribe/ This episode is made possible with the support of Publicis Groupe UK.

  2. From Hollyoaks to Hollywood, when's it my turn to be the main character?

    17 JUN

    From Hollyoaks to Hollywood, when's it my turn to be the main character?

    We all know the trope: the supportive bestie who helps the main character finally achieve their dreams, gives the advice that helps them land the heartthrob or drops hard truths that lead to epiphanies. We all know that’s producers and casting directors' favourite place to tick their diversity boxes. I should know, I’m the actor playing them. But what this week's producer Ki Griffin wants to know, especially as an actor and a black trans-masculine person who uses he/they pronouns is: "When do I get to be the main character?" Looking at black trans-masc representation in TV, film, and theatre - while connecting the dots with wider social conversations about black masculinity - join Ki as they explore where the black trans-masc representation is in TV and film? With guests: Rico Jacob Chace - a speaker on Intersectionality and Non-Binary EqualityTatenda Shamiso - a multidisciplinary artist, writer and directorLane Webber - actor and composer Read more stories from Trans+ History Week: https://www.wearequeeraf.com/transhistoryweek/Here is the article we recommended: https://www.wearequeeraf.com/we-have-always-been-here-a-poetic-ancestral-history-of-trans-nigerians/ Watch the Transcending Words poetry night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmbn900ekPM Plus, be sure to sign up for our newsletter to understand the LGBTQIA+ news every Saturday: https://www.wearequeeraf.com/subscribe/ This episode is made possible with the support of Publicis Groupe UK.

  3. I've been on PrEP over over 7 years. This is what I've learned

    10 JUN

    I've been on PrEP over over 7 years. This is what I've learned

    "I’ve been taking PrEP for almost 7 years now. During that time, I’ve been crazy enthusiastic about making positive changes to reduce health inequalities. But I have seen how queer health has been mishandled time and time again." So today Phil Samba is here to help us all discover the untold story behind PrEP, the revolutionary pill that's transforming HIV prevention and sexual health. In the first episode of our new six-part limited series documentary, we dive into the battle for PrEP access in the UK by not only looking at the court case fought here in England for the drug - but the advent of HIV and AIDS in the 80s. Did you know we knew PrEP was effective from the early 2000s? Why did it take until 2020 to get it on the NHS you ask? Join host Phil Samba as he uncovers the legal struggles, the historic activism, and the groundbreaking moments that made PrEP a reality. From the early days of HIV awareness to the modern fight for equitable healthcare, this is the compelling journey of The Other Blue Pill. This week, we understand the past of this HIV game-changer, so in the first episode of a series about the the present, and future of The Other Blue Pill. Hosted by Phil Samba, it is a QueerAF production for The Love Tank, supported by National Aids Trust.
