Q is for…Queer Britain Museum 🏳️🌈⚧️🏳️⚧️
Details
“Openness may not completely disarm prejudice, but it’s a good place to start.” - Jason Collins
“…fascinating and super informative, as well as seriously important” - Review by Xena Frailing at VoiceMag
Join us on Sunday 8th March at Queer Britain, the U.K.’s first and only dedicated LGBTQIA+ museum, in Granary Square near Kings Cross.
“Journey through queer culture and heritage in our galleries at Queer Britain. Our gallery redevelopment features a takeover from BFI Flare, with early promotion and annual posters celebrating the landmark film festival's 40-year history. The main gallery presents six new themed displays that tell the stories of the Black Lesbian and Gay Centre, AIDS Quilt 23, Justin Fashanu, Women's Liberation Music, Club Kali, and Dora Carrington and Lytton Strachey. In our temporary exhibition space, modern print culture is explored through Queer Britain's own collections in Queer Print.”
