THE EXHIBITION 

WATCH & LISTEN & READ

The Twilight People touring exhibition was launched in February 2016 for LGBT History Month at Islington Museum and is now touring the UK.

The theme of the Twilight People exhibition is ‘body and ritual’, covering primarily the time period from the 1980s to today. Physical transformation, religious rituals and religious fetish objects (e.g. hairstyle, accessories, head-gear, jewelry, tattoos) are very often important symbols to mark both faith and gender journeys. Twilight People captures the voices and images of gender-nonconforming people of faith and interpret them in a heritage context.
