HAPPY NEW YEAR! WE REOPEN TODAY AT NOON

NOW

SHOWING

This exhibition, disguised as a museum store, uses Bowler’s experience as a museum registrar to create an archive of his seven-year journey through the UK’s healthcare system to access gender-affirming top surgery - from Bowler’s first visit to a GP to his recovery after surgery revisions. Comprising drawings, films, photographs, letters, sculptures, and collected objects, the installation enters the emotions and physicality of being trans into a fictionalised archive.
