Margins of Time | MA Final Project
An exploration of queer temporalities, set in the Clapton and Hackney marshes, “Margins of Time” resulted in an exhibition and a book of 21 portraits and interviews about how queer people of London have experienced time and space that differs from the assumed default timelines, with a particular focus on how Covid changed the narrative.
“The Walthamstow and Leyton marshes are a wild space that sit between the city and historic water reserves. With traditions still in place that date back to when Hackney was well known for farming and gardening, it’s now a queer friendly spot, popular for cruising, wrestling and foraging.”
“Last Summer, the marsh gave the participants of this project a portal, to reflect on how they experience time differently. Driven by a lack of LGBTQIA+ stories in history books, what developed was a series of stories about living outside of homogenous timelines and switching between queer and straight temporalities.”
