Bristol Museum is currently running an exhibition called Gender Stories. The blurb says:

Challenging rigid definitions and binary narratives, Gender Stories dives deep into the intricate connections between sex, gender, sexuality, and identity. Discover how these fluid, and multifaceted ideas have been mythologised, stereotyped, expressed – and sometimes concealed – through art, history, politics, and daily life over time.

The exhibition includes work by David Hockney, Rene Matic, Zanele Muholi, Catherine Opie, Grayson Perry, and Del LaGrace Volcano.

In addition the fabulous Jack Shoulder is hosting LGBTQIAP+ tours of the museum. Jack and Mark Small are the team behind the wonderful Museum Bums book, so you can be guaranteed an entertaining tour. Dates are listed here.

And why am I telling you all this? Because on September 24th I will be appearing on a panel associated with the exhibition. The panel is titled ‘Gender, Identity, Culture, and Future – a frank panel discussion’. Appearing with me will be Sid Boyner (artist), Sacha Acheson (former England women rugby player), Ben Akers (CEO of a men’s mental health charity) and Dr Sarah Jones (historian of sexuality and gender, University of Bristol). Tickets are a mere £5, and you can buy them here.
