We are delighted to present Queer Masculinities, a conversation between New Contemporaries 2022 artists Gabriel Kidd, Hamish Halley and Velvet Butler Carroll/Rudi Blu. Hosted by writer Evelyn Wh-ell, the recording expands upon themes of queerness within each artists' practice, and explores the expansive definitions of masculinity reflected in their research and making. Evelyn was selected for the New Contemporaries Writing Commissions in 2022, and has produced this recording to accompany the New Contemporaries 2022 Online Platform: platform.newcontemporaries.org.uk
