The title reflects the number of days Niya had to wait for her first appointment at the Gender Identity Clinic. The wait times have been increasing across the UK, with first appointments now taking anywhere from three to five years. The project consists of three parts, each capturing one-third of the 912-day journey, using a 360 degree camera.

Niya engaged with diverse communities of trans and non- binary people in Birmingham and London through workshops and participatory performances. 912 goes beyond a personal story to resonate with a wider audience, exploring conditions of waiting, frustration, hope, resilience and community support.

The podcast was initially designed as an audio description for visually impaired individuals but has since evolved into a distinct audio experience of its own.

Text by Afrah Allsopp & Niya B. Narration by Asher Fynn. Mixed by Lottie Lou Poulet.
