Izzy Kroese is an artist, writer and curator based in Manchester, UK. They are interested in hidden LGBT histories. Rather than positioning themselves as a historian, they take a fan-like approach to their research. This research is often finalised either in print or online. They run Trans Masc Studies, a research project currently available on Instagram (@transmascstudies), in which they research masculine-leaning gender variance throughout history and culture.
They also work in a print collective called Shy Bairns, within which they curate exhibitions, make work, and run workshops considering contemporary art and bookmaking.
