This week I’m diving into the super interesting history of queer mermaid mythology with Sacha Coward. Sacha is a queer historian, tour guide and escape room designer who has been working at museums and heritage sites across the UK for over a decade. He is also a folklorist with a passion for the hidden histories of mermaids and mythical creatures. At the moment he is working on LGBTQ+ tours along the river Thames with the Brunel Museum as well as developing a series of virtual tours about videogames for the Museum of London.
Tune in as we discuss queer mermen hidden in plain sight in central London (Trafalgar Square to be precise), lesser known queer mermaid histories from Hans Christian Andersen to Disney, mermaids in art history, and why the mermaid is such a powerful symbol for the queer community.
