Queer Icons Of Color
“These explorations of the edges of genders take place in the nuances of the contemporary urban world. A simple eye shape, an angle of a mouth, the tilt of the head – indicate a queering of conventional forms and roles … Much like traditional religious paintings conferred a sense of safety, calm and meditation into a home, the works in this series aspire to a similar sense of refuge, drawn from the inner grace of the subjects out onto a world that might not always be safe.” #Love it!

Bex Day: Harnaam
Harnaam Kaur is many things: primary school teacher, model, and self-professed “genderfucker”. Many will know her as Britain’s foremost bearded lady. A walking mass of contradictions, it’s best, perhaps, to think of her simply as subversive, and definitely brave. What becomes clear from talking to Harnaam – warm, chatty, open – is that her most remarkable feature isn’t her appearance, but her unwavering self-belief. (by Amelia Abraham )
