After the incredible honour of having an entire room in the Women's Museum dedicated to my work, I was even more thrilled to be informed that the Women's Museum have requested my film and photographic series to be added to their permanent collection.  The works will remain on show in the museum for an extended period of time.

The Genderhouse Festival was a month celebration of queer arts in Aarhus, with performances, workshops and exhibitions throughout the city throughout September.

I was thrilled to discover that an entire room of the Women's Museum had been dedicated to my work.  My film, Are You A Boy Or A Girl?, was projected large scale onto the walls, surrounded by my photographic series, Gendered Space.  The entire exhibition was beautifully curated, queering the walls of the gendered exhibition space.

Queer Art(ists) Now

Ladies Room, Chaz Howkins, 2017, installation (toilet tissue dispenser and ink on toilet tissue)

I'm very excited to finally have an opportunity to exhibit Ladies Room.  The work will be at the Rose Lipman Building from October 11-14th as part of the Queer Art(ists) Now exhibition.

The audience is invited to take a tissue from the toilet tissue dispenser, read it and then either keep it or discard it by adding it to the pile on the floor below.  On each tissue is written something which has been said in a public women's bathroom to an individual who presents themselves in a gender non-conforming manner.
