Shon Faye reflects on her experiences within all sides of the LGBT spectrum and scrutinises the labels that mainstream society have forced upon her in her short film Catechism. In relation to her life as a trans woman, she explores the darker truths that many like her experience in their day to day lives. Featuring works from 1861–1967 relating to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ) identities, Tate Britain’s latest exhibition ‘Queer British Art 1861–1967’ marks the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of male homosexuality in the UK. The show explores how artists expressed themselves in a time when established assumptions about gender and sexuality were being questioned and transformed. Queer British Art 1861-1967” is on at Tate Britain until 1st October.  For more information and tickets please visit - http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/queer-british-art-1861-1967 Commissioned in partnership with Tate by Channel 4’s Random Acts Subscribe to Random Acts: https://bit.ly/2OnqXLs #RandomActs #ShortFilm #ShonFaye
