Clarence’s post-sex relief is obvious; less so to most is the passing slap in the face of anyone watching who just might be trans or non-binary. Aw the early ‘90s. I still love and still hate that film. Some things in the world have changed; a great deal hasn’t.&nbsp;This is a collection of reworked pieces, objects and ephemera from Cekca Het: Trans Panic, my recent exhibitions and performances based around a never-to-make-it noise band project. Cekca Het: Trans Panic celebrates and explores my identity pre-, during and post transition, through a mix of text, installation, moving image, sound, costume and performance. The work collapses my past and present, seeks domestic escape from medical horrors and social fears, considers my wriggles for position within trans spaces and art communities, and takes swipes at transphobic individuals and media.The work was at Freelands Foundation gallery space, as part of their Artist Programme cohort 2 fellowship programme show. Other artists in the exhibition included: Freya Dooley, Rebecca Gould, Becca+Clare, Will Roberts, Neasa Terry (all g39/Cardiff); Jasmin Marker, Brown+Bri, Thomas Wells, Mitch Conlon, Jane Butler (all PS2/Belfast); James Clarkson, Maud Haya-Baviera, Victoria Lucas, Conor Rogers, Joanna Whittle (all Site Gallery/Sheffield); Rae-Yen Song, Jenny Hogarth, Eothen Stearn, Sarah Rose, Mona Yoo (all Talbot Rice Gallery/Edinburgh) Freelands is headed up by Elisabeth Murdoch, scroll around the site for shouts out to her and her dad. @g39, Cardiff, as part of No Time To Plan An EndingBecca+Clare, Freya Dooley, Rebecca GouldRhiannon Lowe, Will Roberts, Neasa Terry16 October - 18 December 2021 Work in this show was a continuation of work developed for my solo show at Mission Gallery earlier this year. This project, Cekca Het: Trans Panic is me, me then and now. It’s a mess of noise and memory, hope and fear; it’s a paene to the long lost and a statement of intent; it’s an exploration of secrecy and a lived life; it’s a search for a safe place within the hard wild reality of being trans.&nbsp; The following is a text edit from Trans Panic magazine, produced as part of the exhibition at Mission Gallery, Swansea in 2021. I'm caught between different states, officially: born and created in one, with time, experience, life, loves, people, messages, communications, paperwork to match (in the eyes of others); and living in another, one that I have been dreaming of, manufacturing and living for as many years as I can remember, to (re)make myself anew. I now have yet more proofs of who I am and will be; proofs on paper and trails online, proofs in stone, written, drawn, recorded; official statements in full. I have the beginnings of another whole lived life.&nbsp;This is another new year. I'm about 11 in new years; I am coming to that time when in my earlier life I like to think I made myself; me, my heart, my fears, my wants and desires, my places and loves, my confusions. It was the '80s; I was sneaking Smash Hits and Melody Maker under the covers, figuring the closest I'd get to being a woman was Martin L Gore, ffs. The work was been made during 2020/21, while based at g39, Cardiff on a Freelands Foundation fellowship, and developed from work supported by a grant from Arts Council Wales.&nbsp;For a look around my studio, click here.

In turn, Lis and her money have a heavy hand in a great deal of the visual arts here in the UK, it makes me queasy. I took the cash; I tried to poke a bit, make some noise, shout and sulk. If I think about it now, I didn’t try anywhere near hard enough. And maybe I also feel I was asked to pipe down, in a roundabout way, get back in my box. There’s plenty to discuss about Freelands and their programme, leadership and ways of working. Anyway.&nbsp; &amp;amp;lt;a href="https://cekcahet.bandcamp.com/album/mini"&amp;amp;gt;Mini by Cekca Het&amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;gt;
