Statement: “The idea for Bathroom Privileges came after hearing the interview with Janet Mock on The Breakfast Show saying, ‘every civil rights issue has gone to the bathroom in some sense, you think about black folks in the 1960s in segregation, you think about women in the workplace, you think about disabled folk because it is one of the most universal experiences that we all have to deal with’. It struck me how I had taken this for granted, a very simple need for the public bathroom was made at times impossible for those who are marginalised. This space can tell the history of communities without power and their treatment by the wider world.”
