Tracy Tidgwell
Tracy is a multidisciplinary artist, activist and cultural producer working in the folds of the queer and disability arts communities. She’s the creator of Half Sour: A Variety Variety Show, an online event for new, old, and in-progress artworks, co-editor of The Future is Fat, a book collection of scholarship that reimagines understandings of time to allow for new expressions of fat experience, and creator of Fat Work, a photographic series that features fat women at work and explores fatness, class, race, and labour. She was a member of Pretty Porky and Pissed Off, the fat activist art collective that brought fat liberation to the stage and street, and is a core member of Fat Rose, a fat liberation cross-movement incubator. Tracy explores how people are rooted in the past, present and future through our bodies, and centres process, connection, love, and queerness in all of her work.
