Museum Bums: POW! BIFF! BUM!
Sunday 23 June
What is it about bums in comics?
Join Museum Bums as they chat with industry experts about the portrayal of bodies in comics. Inspired by Dundee's interwoven relationship with comics and publishing, Jack and Mark will explore how perceived audiences have shaped the way characters have been depicted, how figures have been warped into impossible poses and ask the crucial question; 'Who has the best bum in all of comics?!'
Presented in collaboration with University of Dundee LGBT+ Staff Network.

Speakers include:
Mark Small of Museum Bums has always loved history, heritage, museums and archives, and the love of bums kind of developed separately until he realised there were loads of bums in history, heritage, museums and archives! He studied history, archaeology and urban history; then worked with various heritage charities before working front of house in Bristol museums and archives. Mark sees importance in sharing queer, feminist, and intersectional histories because they’re often the ones that have been missed out in traditional places of learning.
Jack Shoulder of Museum Bums has worked with some of the biggest names in heritage in the UK to make history more accessible to everyone – even those who thought they weren’t interested at all! He specialises in helping people see things from a new perspective and to see the world in a different way. He is passionate about sharing the histories of marginalised people, and can often be found leading tours, writing blog posts and composing tweets to share he new favourite facts.
Further speakers to be announced.
