I was honoured to participate in the community residency at 'Queer Britain,' in collaboration with 'Traveller Pride' and doctoral researcher Shaan Knan. During the residency, LGBTQIA+ Traveller+ community members and I engaged in a series of hybrid sessions designed to explore our identities, histories, and communities through creative activities. As we approached the culmination of our residency, we worked collectively to produce a shared work that celebrated our experiences and the connections we formed during this journey. This final collaborative exhibition brought together all of our individual art pieces and was showcased publicly for the first time during a special presentation at 'Queer Britain' on Saturday, April 6. Following the presentation, our collective work remained on display in the 'Queer Britain' galleries for a limited time, allowing a broader audience to engage with the rich narratives we created together.
