Catherine LiGuestExhibitionistas got an award, the Women Who Podcast Award in the category of LGBTQIA+.
The episode Contemporary Art Exhibitions and Heritage as Safe Space with the curators Gemma Rose Bentley and E.J. Scott.
I applied for this episode because my guests go far beyond the mere issues of representation.
They do talk about queerness in art spaces and in curatorial practices but by showing how necessary it is to bring queer perspectives because they carry, each one of them, unique and unexplored standpoints through each and every member of the community.
It was really moving to see how trans curator E.J. Scott, according to Gemma Rawls-Bentley, has enlightened her in regards to trans lives, particularly with his project Museum of Transology that we talk about in the episode.
But it was also moving for me, who consider myself to have been raised by a notion, and my parents also, obviously, to discover that she was curating an exhibition about the sea, which she introduced as a really important element for certain queer people.
So that's for me, an episode that really represents the importance of understanding also that one member of a community does not represent the whole community and that dialogues are always necessary without and within dialogue.
As EJ Scott said more poignantly, not seeing gay and trans lives in museums and heritage spaces, because he also works in historic museums, when you're somewhere in the LGBTQIA plus spectrum is being, and I quote EJ Scott, historically homeless, unquote.
It is really truly due to them that the episode got the award and thanks to you too as well for listening and for being here.
