I am a writer, filmmaker, broadcaster and lecturer based in London. I have published six books, includling Trans: A Memoir (Verso, 2015), Variations (Influx, 2015), Front Lines: Trans Journalism 2007-2021 (Cipher Press, 2022) and The Woman in the Portrait: Collected Short Stories 2008-24 (Cipher Press, 2024). My journalism, essays and short fiction has appeared in The Guardian, for whom I documented my gender reassignment in a blog entitled A Transgender Journey (2010-12), which was longlisted for the Orwell Prize. I have also written for London Review of Books, Granta, Sight & Sound, Frieze, Art Review, New York Times, The Washington Post, TimeOut, New Humanist, Five Dials, New Inquiry, The New Statesman, Schirn, When Saturday Comes, 3:AM and elsewhere. I have made three short films, screened in galleries and festivals worldwide. I also host Suite (212), a radio programme and podcast that looks at the arts in their social, cultural and political contexts. I teach on the MA programme at the Royal College of Art and finished my PhD in Creative and Critical Writing in 2019. I was included on The Independent on Sunday Pink List of influential LGBT people in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, and appeared on a panel at the PEN International Congress in 2014. Trans: A Memoir was runner-up in Polari LGBT Literary Salon’s First Book Award for 2016. In 2019, Val McDermid chose me as ten British LGBT+ writers for an International Literary Showcase.

By Juliet Jacques| Frieze Verified ‘The invention of film in the 1890s meant the 20th century could be recorded like none before; the advent of the World Wide Web 100 years later has given filmmakers unprecedented access to historical moving images, making it easier than ever to find an audience for works made using relatively cheap and accessible digital editing software.’ This is how I introduce my short course at the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London, where I attempt to teach the basics of archive filmmaking in four days.
By Juliet Jacques| Frieze Verified For over a decade, Leigh Bowery was an unmissable presence in London’s queer underground. Instantly recognizable thanks to his outlandish costumes and heavy make-up – which went way beyond drag, or the theatrical androgyny of the New Romantic scene of the early 1980s – he turned himself into a figure that was not so much transgender as trans-human.
By Juliet Jacques| Frieze Verified Judith Bernstein’s third solo exhibition at Kasmin, New York, surveys her work from 1966 to the present, showing how she has fearlessly confronted militarism and misogyny in the US, from the Vietnam War to Donald Trump’s impending second presidency. She talks to Juliet Jacques about her use of genitalia and slogans, her involvement with the Guerrilla Girls and how art might be a weapon in a time of intense anti-feminist and anti-LGBTQ+ reaction.
