In this episode Jack Bowman and Dr Robert Philipson, producer for Shoga Films, discuss the Queer Harlem Renaissance and in particular bisexual writer and artist Richard Bruce Nugent. Bruce Nugent was part of the artistic explosion that was the Harlem Renaissance, a project we are only beginning to engage with as queer. This episode looks at several figures of the Harlem Renaissance, discusses their sexuality and how this has been viewed over the years, and assesses how using terms such as queer to retroactively label historical events and figures can be a useful approach.   https://twitter.com/jackawbowman https://www.shogafilms.com https://www.instagram.com/shogafilms

This podcast takes a look at what it means to be typecast into a certain role in the creative arts, an industry notorious for expecting people to perform in certain roles. In this podcast, queer/disrupt convenor and performer Nick Cherryman talks to Miriam O'Brien and Ashley Jordan, a professional actress and dancer respectively. Both discuss how they have worked with, and against, expectations placed on them in the creative industry. The conversation covers gender, sexuality, and race, and looks at the intersections between these categories, and asks how we can break typecasting expectations, or even play up to them, in a famously competitive industry.
