Amy C, Museum Education Professional, WRITER , ACTIVIST, QUEER.

A portfolio and online journal by Amy C, Museum Education Professional. Sharing original poetry, articles, artwork, and reflections on museum education, social justice, and personal values including feminism, LGBT+ rights, anti-racism, and equality. With over three years in learning and engagement roles, I contribute to Birmingham Museums Trust by fostering meaningful, inclusive experiences that celebrate diverse histories. My expertise lies in audience development, team management, and delivering creative programs that inspire a love of learning, particularly in the domains of feminism and the ancient world. At Birmingham Museums Trust, I led the development of impactful events such as the annual 'International Women and Girls in Science Day,' emphasizing collaboration and community engagement. My mission is to create accessible opportunities for learning while empowering teams and contributing to organizational growth.

So,

It turns out,

Playing dead does not work.

It does not fool them.

Not the real predators.

Not the monsters in the closet, you were afraid of as a child.

Playing dead,

Is no defence.

When you are face to face,

Nose to nose,

Breathing the same oxygen as,

The seductive,

Pull,

Tug,

Of the realms below.

Tartarus.

Of those who dwell there.

They whisper to you and call you.

Even now.

Their wispy, goulish fingers beckoning.

Only to realise,

Playing dead did not fool,

Anyone,

At all.

You are simply dead.

You were dead all along.
