We are a collective of thinkers, dreamers and future seers raising awareness of trans and women’s exclusion in healthcare. We would like this exhibition to make you feel seen, heard and ready for change. We invite you to explore the works we have made collaboratively.
From the hidden contributions of pioneering women in science to the current battle for access to trans+ inclusive healthcare, the exhibition will highlight historical and present-day examples of women’s and trans+ people’s exclusion through zines and timelines created with artist Lu Williams. Also on display will be a manifesto from the students with their demands for a more inclusive healthcare system.
This exhibition is brought to you by King’s LGBTQ+ Society and Womxn in Biosciences in collaboration with Grrrl Zine Fair.
