 DR KIT HEYAM 

Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender 

 (Basic Books, May 2023) 

 Dr Kit Heyam is a non-binary trans person (they/them or he/him), based in Leeds with a partner and child and is author of the Lammy-nominated Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender, will talk about writing trans history in a trans-hostile political climate – as well as giving a sneak peek at their new work, a trans history of family forthcoming in June 2027. In all their work, Kit is motivated by a commitment to making visible the diversity and complexity of queer experience. “Trans people aren’t monolithic, and neither is our history: this needs to be reflected in our workplace strategies, our heritage narratives and our classrooms.” Before We Were Trans is a new and different story of gender, that seeks not to be comprehensive or definitive, but – by blending culture, feminism and politics – to widen the scope of what we think of as trans history by telling the stories of people across the globe whose experience of gender has been transgressive, or not characterised by stability or binary categories. 

 JACK SHOULDER 

 Hotties in Art 

 (Greenfinch, September 2026) 

Jack Shoulder is a writer, historian and educator who encourages people to see the world in a new way, by sharing stories that have been hidden, glossed over and overlooked. Although his dreams of being a Blue Peter presenter never panned out, he has found his audience of art lovers and history buffs by taking a look behind some of the most famous works of art in the world with Museum Bums: A Cheeky Look at Butts in Art History, with callipygian collaborator Mark Small, and the upcoming Hotties in Art – exploring the stories behind our favourite Art History boyfriends as well as his popular tours of museums across the UK and a charming online presence with Museum Bums and #TodayInQueerHistory. Offering a fresh and humorous introduction to art, Hotties in Art searches art history, across movements and throughout the world to find the most alluring artworks – some famous while others rarely ever seen before. Whether you are looking for boyfriend material, a heavenly hunk, a bright young thing or even holding out for a hero, there is a Museum Hottie carefully curated for you. 

 SACHA COWARD 

 Queer as folklore: The hidden queer history of myths and monsters 

 (Manchester University Press, November 2025) 

 Sacha Coward has worked in museums and heritage for over ten years. For the past three years, he has been freelancing as a historian, public speaker, tour guide and researcher. He has run LGBTQ+ focused tours for museums, cemeteries, archives and cities around the world. Sacha is passionate about queer history, mythology, folklore and storytelling in all their many forms. Queer As folklore is his first book. A celebration of queer history like you’ve never seen it before. Queer as folklore travels across centuries and continents to reveal the unsung heroes and villains of storytelling, magic and fantasy. Featuring images from archives, galleries and museums around the world, each chapter investigates the queer history of different mythic and folkloric characters, both old and new. Leaving no headstone unturned, Sacha Coward takes you on a wild ride through the night from ancient Greece to the main stage of RuPaul’s Drag Race, visiting cross-dressing pirates, radical fairies and the graves of the ‘queerly departed’ along the way. Queer communities have often sought refuge in the shadows and created safe spaces in underworlds. But these forgotten narratives tell stories of resilience that deserve to be heard. Join any Pride march and you will see a glorious display of papier-mâché unicorn heads, drag queens in mermaid tails and more fairy wings than you can shake a trident at. These are not just accessories: they are queer symbols with historic roots. To truly understand who queer people are today, we must confront the twisted tales of the past. 

 CRYSTAL JEANS 

 Blueprints: A Taste for Oversharing 

 (Parthian Books, February 2026) 

 Crystal Jeans is a Welsh author and poet known for her novels, short stories, and essays, including The Inverts and Accidental Darlings. Crystal lives in Pontypridd with her young daughter and partner. Blueprints is a searing, reflective and truthful collection of essays by award-winning writer, Crystal Jeans, as she explores the struggles of addiction and mental health during the turbulent transition of adolescence into adulthood through to the strains of marriage, childbirth and parenting. Growing up in south Wales, navigating gender and sexuality, Jeans writes about her relationships with others as well as her own body with a frank self-awareness. Fiercely feminist, brutally honest and full of sharp cultural references, Blueprints is not another trauma story but a vital validation of the act of writing about pain and loss while grappling with identity in a troubled world.

My Love All Love Excels:

The Remarkable Life of Katherine Philips

5pm Friday 5th June 2026

The National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth

TICKETS >>

{CYMRAEG >>}

{ENGLISH} Join Norena Shopland and Aberration, in association with Parthian Books, as they launch Norena’s new biography on the Anglo-Welsh poet Katherine Philips: My Love All Love Excels in the Drwm auditorium at The National Library of Wales (NLW), Aberystwyth on 5 June.

Katherine has many accolades – the first woman to have a play commercially produced; a seventeenth-century Civil War poet of distinction; someone who broke the rules of poetry; one of the first notable female poets in the world; one of the first to write of same-sex attraction, the list goes on.

Katherine’s extraordinary story will be brought to life with poetry readings, songs and talks that will amuse and amaze, and will show why Katherine Philips must be regarded as one of Wales’ best poets.

This major biography of Katherine Philips is published by Parthian Books. Be the first to buy a copy at our launch event and get it personally signed by author Norena Shopland (pictured above).

Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru, 5pm Dydd Gwener, 5 Mehefin 2026

Ymunwch â Norena Shopland ac Aberration, mewn cydweithrediad â Gwasg Parthian, wrth iddynt lansio cofiant newydd Norena ar y bardd Eingl-Gymreig Katherine Philips: My Love All Love Excels.

Mae Katherine yn nodedig am sawl peth – y fenyw gyntaf i gael drama wedi’i chynhyrchu’n fasnachol; bardd Rhyfel Cartref deunawfed ganrif o fri; rhywun a dorrodd reolau barddoniaeth; un o feirdd benywaidd nodedig cyntaf y byd; un o’r cyntaf i ysgrifennu am atyniad i’r un rhyw, mae’r rhestr yn mynd ymlaen.

Yn y digwyddiad yma, daw stori ryfeddol Katherine yn fyw drwy ddarlleniadau barddoniaeth, cerddoriaeth a sgyrsiau a fydd yn diddanu a syfrdanu, gan ddangos i ni pam y dylai Katherine Philips gael ei hystyried fel un o feirdd gorau Cymru.

Am Ddim. Digwyddiad trwy gyfrwng y Saesneg.

‘Off the Wall’ writing & performance workshops from Aberration

Cymraeg >>

NOTE: WORKSHOPS NOW FULLY BOOKED!

[PAST EVENT]

For LGBTQ+ History Month 2026, Aberration invites you to be part of a thoughtful, joyful group that will create new writing and performance pieces together

In these two linked workshops we’ll share our responses to the paintings and photographs in the Portrait & Power exhibition.

Two Saturdays: 31 January & 7 February 2026, 10.30am to 1.30pm at The National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth

More information

In a supportive and encouraging atmosphere, we’ll create new writing and performance pieces together which will then become part of the programme at our fabulous Off the Wall Extravaganza Night.

These group workshops for LGBTQIA+ adults will be facilitated by Helen Sandler and Jane Hoy of Aberration, and community arts supremo Cath Rigler (who performs as Kitty O’Blitherin).

In the first session, on 31 January, we will visit the Portrait & Power exhibition in the gallery and discuss responses to the stunning paintings and photographs on display. Through writing exercises you can respond to a portrait (or portraits) with significance for you as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

In the second session, on 7 February, we will shape our writing into short performance pieces for the upcoming Off the Wall evening (12 Feb). Individual and group pieces will magically emerge. Anyone who doesn’t want to perform doesn’t have to!

Pocedi o Falchder / Pockets of Pride

Mae’r gweithdai nawr yn llawn. Os hoffech ymuno â’r rhestr aros, e-bostiwch: museum@ceredigion.gov.uk

English>>


Mae ‘Pocedi o Falchder’ yn gyfres o dri gweithdy creadigol ar gyfer pobl sy’n perthyn i’r gymuned LHDTCRh+ lle byddwn yn dod ynghyd i roi ein stamp ein hunain ar byrsiau traddodiadol yr Eisteddfod.

Bagiau bach oedd y pyrsiau hyn – yn aml wedi’u haddurno’n gywrain – a roddid fel gwobr i enillwyr cystadlaethau’r Eisteddfod yn y gorffennol. Byddai’r enillwyr yn eu gwisgo’n falch trwy gydol wythnos yr ŵyl.

Yn ein sesiynau llawn hwyl, byddwch yn cael cymorth i wnïo, plygu a gludo bag, poced neu bwrs. Bydd gan bob un ohonynt ei ‘bwrsonoliaeth’ unigryw ei hun, gan adlewyrchu eich straeon chi!

Bydd creadigaethau’r grŵp yn rhan o’r arddangosfa LHDTCRh+ parhaol newydd yn Amgueddfa Ceredigion.

Pryd a ble mae’r gweithdai’n cael eu cynnal?

Ar gyfer Mis Hanes LHDTC 2026 ar dri dydd Sadwrn yn olynol:

21 Chwefror, 28 Chwefror a 7 Mawrth, rhwng 10.30am a 2.30pm.

Lleoliad: Y Bandstand, Aberystwyth (ar y Promenâd). Mae’r lleoliad yn hygyrch i bobl ag anableddau.  

Ar gyfer pwy mae’r gweithdai ‘Pocedi o Falchder’?

Ar gyfer unrhyw un sy’n uniaethu fel rhan o’r gymuned LHDTCRh+ ac sy’n gallu ymrwymo i bob un o’r tri gweithdy creu pyrsiau. Nid oes angen profiad gwnïo na chrefft, a bydd yr holl ddeunyddiau yn cael eu darparu.

Mae’r gweithdai yn rhad ac am ddim ac yn cynnwys lluniaeth ysgafn. Bydd cyfranogwyr yn derbyn taleb £50 (cerdyn rhodd aml-siop) bob wythnos i gydnabod eich cyfraniad.

Mae nifer y lleoedd yn gyfyngedig a’r wyth person cyntaf i gofrestru bydd yn cael lle.

Sut ydw i’n archebu fy lle?

Yn gyntaf, gwnewch yn siŵr eich bod wedi darllen y wybodaeth hon yn ofalus, yna anfonwch e-bost gyda’r pennawd ‘Pocedi o Falchder’ at Carrie: museum@ceredigion.gov.uk

Mae’n bryd rhoi stamp ein cymuned ar gasgliad yr amgueddfa – a gallwch chi fod yn rhan ohono!

Manylion y Gweithdai

SESIWN UN: 21 Chwefror

Beth sy’n bwysig i chi fel person cwiar?

Gyda’n gilydd, byddwn yn archwilio’r hyn sy’n bwysig i chi – y gwerthoedd, y straeon a’r hunaniaethau sy’n eich llunio chi fel person. Trwy ymarferion creadigol, byddwn yn dechrau archwilio’r syniadau a’r ystyron yr ydych am eu mynegi drwy’ch pwrs, poced neu fag bach eich hun, wedi’i greu â llaw.

Bydd curadur yr amgueddfa, Carrie Canham, yn ymuno â ni i roi cyd-destun y prosiect, sydd wedi’i ysbrydoli gan y pyrsiau hanesyddol yn y casgliad presennol. Bydd hi’n rhannu sut y bydd ein creadigaethau yn cyfrannu at yr arddangosfa LHDTCRh newydd.

SESIWN DAU: 28Chwefror

Gwnïo eich ffordd eich hun

Gan weithio gyda’n dwylo a’n calonnau; byddwn yn dewis defnyddiau ac edau, ac yn dechrau torri, gludo, cydosod a phwytho. Gydag arweiniad a chefnogaeth gan Rose a’r grŵp, byddwch yn dod â’ch dyluniad yn fyw.

SESIWN TRI: 7 Mawrth

Pwytho a gorffen

Gan ychwanegu’r cyffyrddiadau terfynol i gwblhau ein pocedi a’n pyrsiau, byddwn yn archwilio ffyrdd o’u harddangos fel rhan o’r arddangosfa yn Amgueddfa Ceredigion, gan ddathlu ein creadigrwydd cwiar. Gyda’n gilydd, byddwn yn myfyrio ar y broses ac yn ei dogfennu gyda ffotograffau a geiriau.

Pwy sy’n hyrwyddo’r gweithdai?

Mae Rose Thorn wedi gweithio fel artist cymunedol mewn lleoliadau iechyd ac addysg; mae’n frwdfrydig dros ddefnyddiau therapiwtig y celfyddydau gyda phobl sy’n aml yn teimlo eu bod wedi’u dadrymuso. Mae ei hymarfer creadigol ei hun wedi canolbwyntio ar decstilau.  

Roedd ei chydweithrediad diweddaraf ag Amgueddfa Ceredigion gyda ‘Voices from the Edge’, grŵp o’r mwyafrif byd-eang a archwiliodd eu hymatebion i wrthrychau trefedigaethol a fenthycwyd gan Amgueddfa Prydain. Daeth y project i ben gydag arddangosfa grŵp, lle’r oedd ei gorchudd wedi’i wnïo â llaw, o’r enw ‘Wake’, yn archwilio symudiad pobl ar draws y moroedd.

Mae Rose hefyd yn berfformiwr a hyfforddwr Theatr Playback, sy’n anrhydeddu straeon personol drwy ‘adlewyrchu’ ar unwaith yr hyn a rennir gan y gynulleidfa. Mae ei diddordeb yn y corff, yr anadl a’r meddwl yn parhau gyda dosbarthiadau ioga lleol y mae hi’n eu dysgu.
