I met with Ryan Morgana at the henry moore institute, we discussed particularly what my placement with them would consist of,
I told Ryan that I was open to assisting them with anything and they said as well as the Queerology exhibition they were working
on a number of performances including to but not limited to, Serf, trans pride and of course Queerology,
I've since done research and realised that these are all the same performance, that Queerology is an exhibition that has many different venues and that Serf/Warf Chambers was one of their venues, Trans Pride was the event that Queerology was going to be opening up there for, not two different performances, just goes to show that researching in your spare time can pay off and make you realise the essentials you didn't know.
Ryan also mentioned some additional information that Queerology was up for an hourly award, however leeds pride won like it had done many years at a time, essentially from what I can gather the representative of leeds pride a gay man had won for many years at a time, beating a trans woman on the way to the award, the event that was held clearly didn't understand the privilege a gay cisgender man had on a trans woman, which links to my previous comments to keep in mind about privilege and prejudice when taking future career prospects, because of this trans pride was created as a hub for representation, for trans people alike, other than one other event in England, it is the only other transgender pride event to take place in England.
After this short conversation we each went our separate ways, and Ryan gave me their poster of wharf chambers trans pride Queerology event, Ryan would later email me their schedule and I would email back what days I could essentially work on and which days I had university and was busy on, Overall this allowed me to understand what conversing with a practitioner in the industry about working with them would be like, as well as this, I'd notably seen Ryan at such events as interchangeable bodies at the live art bistro, another connecting thread between LAB and their own work.
