Hi folks. It’s been a while. I hope the year has treated you well.
It’s all been kicking off over here: the new Masters degree in Mesolithic Archaeology began in September; the Queer Natures and Our Transcapes project has started, and I’ve been diagnosed with a cheeky new chronic illness. It’s been a lot to balance alongside part time work, but so wonderful to find purpose among my passions while learning how to properly rest. There’s probably a whole separate blog post on that – but it’s not for now!
We’ve had some exciting meetings already for Queer Natures. Also working with Dr Ina Linge are two more artists-in-residences; we’re finding ways to collaborate that are queer in of themselves by reframing relationships between institutions and freelance artists, enjoying somatic exercises as part of meetings… it’s been fantastic so far, and I hope to hit the bog with some lovely trans folks in May 2025.
Expect more updates on the Queer Natures collaboration in the new year (did someone say a commissioned replica of a Roos Carr god dolly?!) and on the Masters, which is feeding my soul (gender nonconforming chimps, anyone?!). I’m also interested in seeing how chronic illness and the world of freelance creativity might work with one another – it would be wonderful to contribute more to community projects once the degree is completed. Let’s see what the path ahead brings.
In the meantime, I wish you the loveliest festive season – and lots of well-earned rest!
Onto the next.
