The exhibition can be viewed on 7 February 2026 7-8.30pm (Private View) and in the hour before and half-hour after scheduled events.

Claude Cahun’s photographic works are today among the most celebrated of the surrealist canon.

This exhibition is organised by Susan Demuth, translator of Cancelled Confessions, a book which reveals Cahun to also be a major surrealist writer and pioneering radical queer theorist, almost a century ahead of her time.

Cancelled Confessions is a remarkably prescient work, with deep resonance for contemporary practices and discourses around queer ecologies, anti-fascism, autotheory, gender expansiveness, and trans liberation. A new generation of readers is eagerly discovering Cahun.

‘Cahun was a pioneer of gender-bending role-playing… eerily ahead of her time, she has attracted an almost cult-like following. I am a huge fan.’ David Bowie, 2007.
