3rd Year Anthropology at St. Mary’s

I love cosplaying and making props! It's genuinely taught me so much about such a wide range of things-- historical materials, geography, 3D modelling and how to work with the strangest materials. It's always been a safe space for me as well, just given the amount of queer cosplayers there are! The most interesting thing I've made this year is a spine sword with a human head on it! Sculpting everything was a pain but it was worth it.

**LGBT+ Anthem:** It's Okay To Cry - SOPHIE
**Favourite Association Memory:** Performing a rap in a Queer Cabaret at the Assembly Theatre in 2022

3rd Year Visual Art and Film at Butler

I'm 25-year-old from the Peak District, near Manchester and I have lived all around England but never left the UK. I identify as Christian, Whovian and a Grime nerd. I am a demigirl trans femme and woman. I identify with being genderfluid between binary female (she/her) and xenogender (it/its). I am also a demi-romantic/-sexual attracted to women and non-binary people! I see myself as an artist and creative as my primary identity and I spent most of my childhood outside of the school system due to being autistic and dyslexic.
