Please note that films being shown as part of this event feature strobe lighting, explicit sexual content, scenes of injections.

Following on from Radar's 2021 project What Makes This Image Trans?, we're delighted to be contributing to this screening and discussion exploring the roles that film and photography might play in representing and transforming trans lives. It features Raju Rage, the lead artist for What Makes This Image Trans? and Nat Thorne, who participated the project and has recently overseen the installation of some of its photographs in the waiting room of the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health, where they work.

The event has been organised by the Institute of Advanced Studies as part of their Transitions Festival. Photographs from What Makes This Image Trans? will be on display during the event.
