Our headliner this month is Eryn McDonald

A multi-disciplinary artist from the South-West. They write a lot about gender, sexuality, politics and, more recently, health and burnout. They are currently co-creating a show about transness, masculinity and girlhood with Satellite of Love's very own team members Aish Humphreys and Cal Wensley. They recently completed a short poetry film commission for Apples & Snakes, and are the director of a short documentary on drag and gender identity called Queer Is A Tender Feeling. They are driven by political rage, love for community, and a burning desire to infiltrate capitalism.
