QUEER ICONS SHOWCASE 30/06
As LGBTIQAA+ people we’re forced to find representation in villains, seek surrogate parents in divas, daddies and pop stars. We construct new histories, cosmologies, and spiritualities from those handed down to us. We become our own icons and ascribe ‘iconic’ status. We disrupt the established order, and so, we must write narratives alternative to the ones we are erased from.
Hosted by Day Mattar & Auntie Climax this one-of performance poetry event will profile 15 North west based queer poets exploring QUEER ICONS through the lens of celebrity, fetish, the symbolic and the sacred.
We'll also be celebrating the end of the 'Queer Icons' course with the Queer Icons Pamphlet available to pre-order through Broken Sleep Books.
Access information:
BSL interpretation will be available + venue is wheelchair accessible.
