The little known trans history I discovered in the UK's most famous museums
Manage episode 428951410 series 1978826
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 Gluck
- Cas Bradbeer - A queer historian and V&A Tour guide
- Prof Matt Cook – Professor of Queer History at Oxford University
View the art discussed in today's show:
- Flora’s Cloak c.1923, Gluck
- Chevalier d'Eon by Thomas Stewart, after Jean-Laurent Mosnier
- Prints of Chevalier d’Eon at the National Portrait Gallery
