Morgan M Page is a writer, historian, artist, and activist currently based in London, England.
With Chase Joynt, she is the co-writer of the feature film Framing Agnes — a trans history documentary featuring a cast of trans actors turning a TV talk show inside out to confront the legacy of a young trans woman forced to choose between honesty and access. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2022, where it won two awards. Together, they also wrote the book Boys Don’t Cry (MQUP, 2022), a critical history of the 1999 film by Kimberly Peirce.
In 2021, she executive produced the award-winning podcast series Harsh Reality: the Miriam Rivera Story (Wondery/Novel). And has also produced audio dramas for BBC Radio 4.
Originally from Canada, Page’s nightmarish performance and video art has shown in galleries and festivals around the world, including the MOCA Taipei (2019), Brooklyn Museum (New York, 2016), the New Museum Resource Centre (New York, 2018), NEMAF New Media Arts Festival (Seoul, South Korea, 2013), and the Adelaide Street Gallery (Melbourne, Australia, 2014).
A Lambda Literary Fellow, her essays have been published in Harper’s Bazaar, Dazed, Buzzfeed, the Globe and Mail, and GUTS Magazine, as well as in anthologies including Best Sex Writing of the Year, vol 1 (Cleis Press) and Red Light Labour (UBC Press, 2018). Her fiction has been published in literary magazines such as Plenitude Magazine, as well as in anthologies such as Meanwhile, Elsewhere: Science Fiction and Fantasy from Transgender Writers (Topside Press, 2017).
She also writes and hosts One From the Vaults, the one and only podcast covering all of the dirt, gossip, and glamour from trans history. It can be found on Soundcloud and iTunes.
