Our guest this week is performance artist Tom Marshman. Tom discusses his passion of telling hidden queer stories, the changes he's seen in the arts during the past 20 years and he gives us an insight of his processes of making work. 

A huge thank you to North West Cancer Research for sponsoring this series. Cancer is something that effects all of us in some way, NWCR’s award winning engagement work helps the region tackle the cause, improve the care and find a cure for cancer. In light of this, we’ve made this years podcast theme ‘You Know Your Own Body Best’, to not only encourage members of the LGBTQIA+ community to be aware of changes in the body but to also affirm their identities. You matter and you are who you say you are. Each guest interprets this theme for themselves, relating it to their queerness, art and personal experiences.
