Trans Tales: Musically Moving Museums

This special series of performances is curated by Cas Bradbeer (they/them), who will be compèring the piece. CYRO will be delivering a bang of Blasian trans pride and political parody, the vocal powerhouse Carrot will be dancing and singing with trans joy, and George will be presenting a medley of spoken word and music exploring their non-binary identity.

Event times are at 13:00 and 15:00 for a 30-minute performance.
