Creating seven large scale wings celebrating gender diversity which will be activated through dance and part of a series of art exhibitions.
Transparent Presence CIC will work with the local queer community and artists to create a set of seven large scale wings celebrating and raising awareness of the six main gender identities and their flags and the umbrella Pride Progress flag. These will be created in community workshop style events, bringing the queer community together to create a living art installation for 2023 (and beyond).
This project builds on the rainbow wings already held by Cornwall Pride and adds the dimension of gender identity representation to LGBT community events across Cornwall. This has become a pressing issue as there has been an increase in the numbers of people identifying outside the binary over the last two years and an increase in negative attitudes towards transgender and non-binary people. This project will be multi-site and therefore seeking to inform more rural villages and settlements.
As part of the exhibition, Queer Kernow will work with Transparent Presence CIC to provide information on the history of the representative flags and to highlight famous Cornish people who identify in these ways.
Through this project Transparent Presence CIC will develop links with local queer artists which will create visibility for the artists and therefore highlight their work which could generate more income for this group.
This project successfully funded on 4th February 2023
