Podcasts about transology

We're baaaack! And we're feeling FIT, while also reassuring you that it's what's inside that counts. Kasia and Dan return with a new series, where today we're talking about the beauty industry, vanity and gender, and - following a Cursed Objects outing to the Wellcome Collection's new exhibition The Cult of Beauty - early modern German wife-prettying windmill technology.  From the masterful make-up artists of Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star to the hall of rubbish mirrors of the Palace of Versailles, this episode has it all. We also hear about the beauty industry exhibits in the Museum of Transology – as liberatory objects that affirm a sense of self in a culture that would too often deny it to trans people.  Also: if pretty privilege is really a thing, shouldn't the parliamentary Conservative Party be a party of hotties?   *** FOR THE FULL EPISODE, join our Patreon!! *** ONLY £4 A MONTH TO SUPPORT YOUR FAVOURITE CULTURAL HISTORIANS - AND GET 25+ BONUS EPISODES AND A CURSED OBJECTS STICKER PACK!   Theme music and production: Mr Beatnick Artwork: Archie Bashford

Welcome to Over the Rainbow, an LGBTQ+ podcast dedicated to queer education and queer representation.   Episode 23: LGBTQ+ activism and expression in fashion and museums with Rocio Sanchez (they/them) Rocio is a queer digital marketer and brand strategist, helping LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs of colour in fashion take up space. In today’s episode Rocio and I talk about LGBTQ+ activism, visibility and representation. Rocio has a lot of experience in this field, and they share a wealth of knowledge around what activism is, in particular activism that exists beyond the streets. Specifically, they share the power of activism and expression through fashion, media and pop culture. Rocio talks about an incredible example of curatorial activism from the museum of Transology in Brighton showcasing how important authentic representation and storytelling is and the part that has to play in activist movements. Hopefully after this episode you will have a greater understanding of what activism beyond the streets looks like and can utilise some of these different forms of activism in your own lives!   More information on Rocio: @marketingbyrocio https://www.instagram.com/marketingbyrocio/ https://marketingbyrocio.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/rocio-d-sanchez/   Information, support and resources: Pride and Joy Foundation: @pridejoyfoundation https://www.instagram.com/pridejoyfoundation/ LGBTQ Influencer and Family Summit https://www.prideandjoyfoundation.com/lgbtq-family-influencer-summit-registration Homojo:  https://www.instagram.com/homojo_official/ https://www.homojo.com The Museum of Transology, Brighton https://www.museumoftransology.com The Transgender Tipping Point https://time.com/135480/transgender-tipping-point/ Trap Door: Trans Cultural Production and the Politics of Visibilty (Critical Anthologies in Art and Culture): Trans Cultural Production and the Politics of Visibility  Curatorial Activism: Towards an Ethics of Curating by Maura Reilly   More information on this podcast: Instagram: @_overtherainbowpodcast https://www.instagram.com/_overtherainbowpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/overtherainbowpodcast13 Twitter: @overrainbowpod https://twitter.com/overrainbowpod Clubhouse: @rachelkeighley Reading the Rainbow book club: https://www.facebook.com/groups/readingtherainbow   Music: Find Your Way Beat by Nana Kwabena

The two discuss Daniel's art making practice, the AIDS quilt, the Museum of Transology, and favourite needleworked objects.

The early 20th century saw a craze for historic pageants – huge theatrical events with casts of thousands. Gwen Lally called herself England’s first female pageant master, and in 1932 she arrived at Battle Abbey in Sussex with great ambitions for her latest show. It was unusual for a woman to wield such power, but even more unusual was her decision to wear masculine clothes. This was a woman who pushed the boundaries. With English Heritage curator Kathryn Bedford, Josie Long explores the story of the Battle Abbey Pageant and speaks to Lally biographer Deborah Sugg Ryan about new research that is shedding light on the enigmatic pageant master's personal life. She also meets E-J Scott, Curator of the Museum of Transology, and Francesca Reid (aka drag king Brent Would) to discuss how gender roles have been challenged through performance. Visit our episode page to find out more about Gwen Lally, the Battle Abbey pageant and women's masculine dress in the interwar years. Speaking with Shadows is brought to you by English Heritage.    Presenter: Josie Long Producer: Katharine Kerr for Fresh Air Contributors: Kathryn Bedford, English Heritage Collections Curator (South East); Deborah Sugg Ryan, Professor of Design History and Theory at University of Portsmouth; E-J Scott, Historian, Curator and Queer Cultural Producer; Francesca Reid, performer and creator of the drag king Brent Would. english-heritage.org.uk/speakingwithshadows

What do you do when you realise you’re non-binary? How do you come out to yourself? How do you find people like you? Caitlin Benedict is coming out. But before they begin, they need to really understand what it’s like to live as non-binary: to exist as neither completely male nor completely female in a world usually confined to two options. So Caitlin has enlisted the help of their friend and mentor Amrou, and together they set off for Brighton, and the Museum of Transology where curator EJ Scott shares his wisdom about life outside the gender binary, the incredible trans community in the UK, and how best to transport a pair of breasts. And Amrou takes Caitlin to meet their best friend, artist Victoria Sin. Presented by Caitlin Benedict & Amrou Al-Kadhi Produced by Caitlin Benedict, Arlie Adlington and Georgia Catt

MOOP Talk: MuseumThe Museum of Ordinary People (MOOP) is a pop up museum that champions the magic and mundanity of everyday life. We celebrate the ripples people leave behind. We want to challenge existing paradigms and rewrite the history books.The idea of MOOP Talks is to explore themes that resonate with us and what we do.MOOP Talk: Museum was a way of exploring how museums are evolving, and how they are being challenged and disrupted. The idea was to foster discussion between existing spaces. We were interested in the definition of a museum itself, emotional resonance, connection and representation, voices (who’s speaking, and who has a voice), the future, belonging and participation.The speakers were:• Richard Martin, curator of public programmes at The Tate - 00:00:00• Edith Ojo, Freelance Arts Consultant and Tshepo Skwambane, Community Advocate and Facilitator - both speaking about co-creating the “Fashioning Africa” project at the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery - 00:19:38• EJ Scott, founder and curator of the Museum of Transology - 00:44:55We hope you enjoy!
