ANCIENT EGYPT BY TRAIN (2023) — 1.01 Alexandria "The Roman Amphitheatre in Alexandria in Egypt is a large circular Roman theatre, and the only one of its kind to be found in the country. Though often referred to as an amphitheatre, the site is actually that of a small Roman theatre rather than a larger sporting arena." [x]

This extensive collection of postcards is housed in the Wellcome Library in London, UK. The postcards were originally collected by social historian James Gardiner and depict an array of drag experiences throughout the twentieth century. The earliest postcards capture moments of military and navy soldiers and prisoners of war during WWI. Later photographs, like those from the 1960s, portray familiar scenes from bars like Club 82, a prominent drag bar in New York at the time.

performance art of two women, dressed in Edwardian clothes, quietly float on a pond, engaged in a perpetual moment of tender affection.  The two women performed in 3 hour shifts, from 1 pm to 4 pm on Saturdays and Sundays from July to September 2016. My initial impression of this performance was how romantic, beautiful and serene it was.
