<description>&lt;p&gt;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).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;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, w&lt;em&gt;ith guests:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/apigeon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abi Penton&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;– A Tate tour guide and expert on Gluck&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://x.com/QueeringCulture" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cas Bradbeer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; - A queer historian and V&amp;amp;A Tour guide&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/professor-matt-cook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prof Matt Cook&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; – Professor of Queer History at Oxford University&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;View the art discussed in today's show:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/gluck-floras-cloak-t15334" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Flora’s Cloak c.1923, Gluck&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw217942/Chevalier-dEon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Chevalier d'Eon by Thomas Stewart, after Jean-Laurent Mosnier&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp60737/charles-genevieve-louis-auguste-andre-timothee-deon-de-beaumont" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Prints of Chevalier d’Eon at the National Portrait Gallery&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Read more stories from Trans+ History Week:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.wearequeeraf.com/transhistoryweek/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.wearequeeraf.com/transhistoryweek/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is the article we recommended:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.wearequeeraf.com/the-jewish-transgender-couple-who-fell-in-love-and-escaped-the-nazis/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.wearequeeraf.com/the-jewish-transgender-couple-who-fell-in-love-and-escaped-the-nazis/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watch the Transcending Words poetry night:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmbn900ekPM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmbn900ekPM &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plus, be sure to sign up for our newsletter to understand the LGBTQIA+ news every Saturday:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.wearequeeraf.com/subscribe/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.wearequeeraf.com/subscribe/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This episode is made possible with the support of Publicis Groupe UK.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.
