The Gender Fluidity Project

Open in new window

Exploring gender identities, expressions, roles, stereotypes, and presentations to raise awareness and inform!

THE GENDER FLUIDITY PROJECT is an exciting new project (funded by Awards for All) designed to explore gender as a modern concept.
People’s feelings and perceptions of gender are changing and we would like to record those changes. Everyone is invited to take part, for example, if you’re a woman who wears trousers do you feel like a cross dresser? Why is ok for a man to wear a kilt and not a skirt.


The World Health Organisation defines gender as “women’s and men’s roles and responsibilities, which are socially determined”. The key phrase here is ‘socially determined’, what role does nature play?


To this end we are also looking in depth at transgender-specific issues and providing a platform from which many people can tell their stories, experiences, feelings, etc. Transgender people are the most discriminated group in the UK and we want to hear what they have to say.


From all the stories submitted we aim to build a comprehensive picture of how society views gender and in some case, how we can change negative behaviour.


The project will culminate in a conference, exhibition and publication so that as wide as possible an audience can see what a complex subject gender really is.
