Come and make a scene at the Victoria & Albert museum. On the last Friday\u00a0of every month (except December), the V&A holds Late Friday, which involves a late opening of the museum \u2013 until 10pm \u2013 and comprises events, workshops and entertainment with a different theme each month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This Friday, Making a Scene taps the surface of Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans & Queer Culture and explores the relationship between sexuality, performance and publics space. Curated in association with Tim Redfern of Pride Legacy Project, the point, as stated on the V&A website, is \u201cto celebrate making visible what for so long has been hidden\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The program features several performances and events, such as the Queer Interventionist Box, with a selection of artists invited to make a contemporary statement through short performance, each reflecting on Queer history, culture and life now, or \u201cThe Manifesto of a Tranny\u201d, performed live by Brian Dawn Chalkley and exposing the harsh reality of being a transvestite in a big city late at night through humour, tragedy and pathos.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCruising for art\u201d will explore the practice of cottaging and personal encounters in public spaces through a series of intimate performances. Handkerchiefs will be distributed and if you see someone with a matching handkerchief, eye contact or a smile, wink at them! Either it will be\u00a0the start\u00a0to a wild journey, a tender moment or an intimate conversation with some of London\u2019s leading performers \u2013 artists include Eirini Kartsaki,\u00a0Russell Harris,\u00a0\u00a0Mamoru Iriguchi,\u00a0Liz Rosenfeld,\u00a0Benjamin Sebastian,\u00a0Johanna Linsley\u00a0& Jan Mertens, arkem,\u00a0Rachel Mars \u00a0– or if not a performer, well… who knows what can happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You will also be able to hear curators offer alternative readings of objects, explore the histories of those who made them and look at the way sexual identity informs the way we interpret the past.<\/p>\n
