Out In The Open Queer Roots: Identity, Art and Belonging

For this episode of Out in the Open, Bayside took a trip over to Frân Wen in Bangor. 

This episode features David Cleary’s conversation with artists Kath Ashill and FishWidow about their involvement in the Queer Roots project, a creative project happening across North Wales which is funded by Arts Council of Wales.

They discuss mascots, drag, and absurd performance as ways to explore queer identity, Welshness, disability, and belonging. They also talk about how in-betweenness shapes their creative work and community connections, as well as the practical barriers of access and transport across North Wales and beyond for disabled artists.
