Then and Now: Know Your Queer History


Led by @shoutout_ire and @queercultureireland this workshop looks at cross-generational queer experiences in Ireland – to consider how things have changed since the earliest days of the movement, the role of archivists in documenting those changes, and how we might better build intergenerational links.

Joining the panel will be Cathal Kerrigan, Sara R. Phillips, Han Tiernan, Domhnaill Harkin and Kate Drinane. The guests who draw parallels between LGBTQ+ lives then and now, what has improved and what has deteriorated for the community as Ireland has changed. This offers us an opportunity to consider queer intersectional spaces today, who they serve, and what a truly inclusive space might look like for the community: one which is intergenerational and accessible to all.
