'Gender (Non) Identities'? Hatshepsut & Akhenaten

A discussion around gender identity and the depiction of the pharaohs Hatshepshut and Akhenaten in the ancient world and early twentieth century attitudes to their so-called ‘transgressive’ identities. We’ll then consider whether these pharaohs have influenced ideas about sexuality and gender identification. Part of LGBTQQIAA History Month.

With the support of Wellcome Trust-funded project “The Cross-Disciplinary Invention of Sexuality” (University of Exeter) and Camden LGBT Forum

Doors open 6pm, event starts at 6.30pm.
