Gain a Queer Perspective on our Collection with resident artist Sadie Lee and her special guest Christopher Green as they discuss portraits which have a personal resonance. 2017 marks the ten year anniversary of Queer Perspectives, the Gallerys pioneering quarterly in conversation event curated and hosted by artist Sadie Lee. Over the past decade Sadie has welcomed guests - including Ali Smith, Sunil Gupta, David McAlmont, Andrew Logan, Amy Lam, Richard Dyer, David Holah, Neil Bartlett, Scottee, and Bird La Bird - to discuss people in the Collection who have a personal resonance, teasing out surprising links and hidden histories.

He is The Singing Hypnotist and the author of Overpowered: The Science & Showbiz of Hypnosis. He was the first Artist in Residence at the British Library.
