Returning for the fourth time, this edition confronts the urgency of making gender non-conforming, trans and intersex people visible in heritage spaces

What impact can museums have on destigmatising societal attitudes surrounding gender inclusivity? Is the bigger question actually whether museums be spaces that heal, not hurt?

Chaired by E-J Scott (Curator, Museum of Transology & Founder, Trans Pride UK), this will be an open conversation led by guests from across the gender spectrum of our community.
