About

Biogal is an artist, T*S showgirl, (bootleg) archivist, & community organiser. A thematic refrain of her work is the fraught & often fatal symbiosis of survival & spectacle for trans*sexual subjects across time and space. I WANT TO KNOW HOW SHE SURVIVES. My practice is indebted to a rich lineage of trans*sexual anarchist showgirls, & as such, is as much about reenacting their survival tactics, as it is an attendance to the grief left in their wake. 

Jaye Hudson is a trans historian, curator, and devised theatre maker whose practice is rooted in the recovery, interpretation, and activation of transfemme histories. Working under the moniker TGirlsonFilm, she has contributed to leading queer film and arts platforms, including BFI Flare, Fringe! Queer Film and Arts Festival, and SQIFF. Her work spans performance, zine-making, and archival engagement, with appearances in On Railton Road and Grills, both projects centring queer historical narratives. Recently, she wrote and produced Tranny Central, a trans archival zine developed with Roz Kaveney, and worked as an archive assistant at the London Community Video Archive, supporting the preservation of community media histories.

Horizontal Practices is a strand of LPS programming dedicated to promoting peer-to-peer learning and non-hierarchical spaces for conversation. These take form as discursive events, professional training and curated guest workshops.

Horizontal Practices responds to the need for and importance of space for experimental modes of exchange that sit outside the context of institutional ‘education’ frameworks. As with the rest of the LPS programme, queer and feminist practices and those which sit in-between visual art and theatre are at the core of Horizontal Practices.
