About the Workshop Leader
Chan Fagan is an Artist, DJ and Creative Programmer based in Nottingham. Their practice attempts to imagine and sometimes map, future worlds or alternate realities. They want to envision beings and worlds that existing beyond oppressive taxonomy and ideology. They are particularly interested in dreaming up fictions of transhumanism and more-than-human hybridity, blending imagined technologies with queer biological life. Chan tends to work through sound, writing and digital image-making alongside participation and workshop.
About Building an LGBTQIA+ Friendly Nottingham
This project explores how LGBTQIA+ people experience life in Nottingham. It looks at how the city can better support them. Decisions often rely on data and top-down methods that overlook the voices of the LGBTQIA+ community. By amplifying “untold stories” through art and literature it aims to boost LGBTQIA+ people’s sense of belonging.
The project is supported by the University of Nottingham’s Institute for Policy and Engagement.
