Queer National Treasures
From January to October 2021, Tom has been making work as part of his ambitious ‘Queer National Treasures’ project, funded by Arts Council England. You can listen to a podcast about the project here.
The aim of the project was to present and re-present British queer national treasures, allowing LGBTQ+ people to see themselves reflected in our national story. This involved R&D and performances of 3 new pieces of work shown above - A Shining Intimacy, Jenny, and ShakesQueer.

I have been lucky enough to receive funding from Arts Council England to make some of my recent work including 'Queer National Treasures', 'I am 21!' and 'A Haunted Existence', and Heritage Lottery funding to deliver some archive history workshops across the UK.

In these shows I use oral histories and archival research to bring both recent and more distant histories to life. I worked with creative technologists to create projections and include digital elements in the work.
