Gendered Intelligence launches new showcase at the Science Museum, ‘What makes your gender?‘Throughout LGBT History Month this February and continuing into April 2014, the Science Museum will showcase a new display that asks its audience: What makes up your gender? The display, which can be seen in the Who am I? Gallery, aims to demonstrate a shift away from seeing gender simply as a boy/girl binary towards viewing gender as something much more dynamic. The display has been created by 17 young transgender people from the Gendered Intelligence organisation.Check out some web content on the Science Museum website as well as genderedintelligence.co.uk/whoamiWe have two events attached to this project: LATES at the Science Museum (18 plus) When: Wednesday 26th February (Doors open from 18.45, tour starts at 20.00-20.35, with performance – 21.00-21.15, closes at 22.00)
