TRANSITIONAL STATES
Peltz Gallery, London
Transitional States: Hormones At The Crossroads Of Art And Science, looks at how hormones have been used and abused, both now and in the past, and raises awareness of their importance.

This free workshop on fluid and non-binary identities aims to open up discussions into all of the above.
